HELP! Tein Basics Squeaking in the Rear
I've had my Tein Basics for about 6 months now, they were installed by a reputable tech. I haven't had any issues until recently, the rears are squeaking when I go over small dips or speed bumps. The sound is more apparent when it's cold (earlier mornings and at night). The sound will somewhat go away after the car has been running for a while or on warmer days. Again, I don't think this is an install issue because it was installed by a reputable tech and the sounds started now after 6 months. I can't figure out why the squeaks go away after the cars been running or on warmer days. Do springs/struts need to be lubed every once in a while? Any help or thoughts would be much appreciated!

I know for a fact it's not the RSB or bushings. I've gone under and had my bro push down on the rear and the creaking/squeaking sound is definitely coming from the rear coilovers. They almost sound like they're dry, need be lubed somewhere. If I've been driving for a while or the day is warm the sound goes away as if the lube has worked it's way through the coilovers. Maybe on warmup/colder days the lube is more solidified and needs time to evenly distribute?
