Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

    squeaky junkyard coilovers

    whats up everyone i finally finished installing the coilovers and KYB shocks that i picked up out of the junkyard and the ride is good other than the springs squeaking any suggestions? maybe spray them with lubricating oil or do you think they will break themselves back in after riding on them for a little while?

        The uppers are integral with the control arms. No way are you getting those for 20 bones.

                Then it might be your shocks or coil overs itself. Prob been sitting in the yard too long.

                  Now that it's lowered all the ball joints are sitting in a different static position.

                          i have never had any squeeking problems with my car. i have 2 1/4 matrix lowering springs. i checked my front end when i put my winter wheels on and everything was solid and its been lowered for about a year now. The funny thing is that i am still rolling on stock struts! i should probably look into getting some new shocks. Any recemendations? i was thinkin monroe because i can get a good deal through my work.

                            Most of the time the squeaking will come from ball joints, but especially from sway bar links/bushings... I'd change those also.
