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!

try lubing your bushings

I would check your rear swaybar bushings.

I would say endlinks too, but those usually make more of a clunking noise when they're loose...

well my friend has Tein SS....his suspension will squeak during colder days.....and over bump at higher speed

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?

I have the same thing on my SS on colder days.

Brake pads!!! Honda release a kit of spacers for the pads...

I'm getting the same thing from my Eibach/Koni combo. I may have the springs removed and checked.

How do brake pads affect noise when going over speed bumps?

i got the same problem it started doing it about a month ago wasnt doing it in the summer. any way to fix?

The pads move in the calipers and create the noise... I've just fixed this problem...

Mine ended up being the swaybar bushings. I replaced them with greased poly bushings and the squeaks went away.
