I have an almost new set of KYB/AGX shocks and Tein S springs they were installed last September and my car was stored all winter, so they are basically new. Anyway, last year when I was riding on them they were awesome, but recently they've been squeaking a lot over bumps in the road, especially in the front. Now a few weeks ago it snowed here and I wanted to clean them from the salt, and mud build up, so I sprayed some engine degreaser on them them because they were sort of caked with dirt...don't know if that was a good idea, and if that is a reason why they are squeaking, but I doubt it. So this squeaking is starting to bother me, anyone know why they might be so damn squeaky or how I can stop the squeak?

You could slather some grease on the coils that rub, or maybe put some plasti-dip rubber coating on the coils
But I thought it was usually bushings that squeaked

Are you lower now? I chased a squeak all over Hells half acre...it ended up being the sway bar rubbing on the brake hard lines. Just bent them out of the way.2003 Maxima SE Titanium Edition

Another thought, did you replace the strut mounts when you did the lower? I know mine squeak like crazy, my struts are dead so Im waiting for this summer to replace them, but its a thought...

Had everything checked out and the bushings and ball joints were fine. What is happening is that there is some rubbing at the top of the front springs whenever I go over bumps. Apparently it's no big deal, but the sound is annoying and even though the bushings are still good, do you think that replacing them will get rid of the squeaking? It almost seems that there is no way to get rid of this squeaking, but there has to be something. Like I said it's nothing major, just annoyingComment
