H&R sport is squeeking a little...

i've had my H&R sports on for about 2 or 3 months and now i'm noticing a squeeking noise coming from the driver side wheel well. also when i get out of the car and lift up i hear the noise. i'm gonna check tomorrow to see if i can find the problem, but has anyone else had this happen? is there any way to fix it? thanks!

I have a slight squeak from my Tein SS coilovers. There's also a very light knocking noise when I hit hard bumps. I'll have the car jacked up tomorrow morning so I'm going to check. Let me know if you find anything, maybe I have the same problem.

I have the EXACT same issue 3 months after having my Comptechs installed on my TLS(stock wheels, tires and shocks). What gives?

thanks in advance.

DJ,

I think its too premature for the stock shocks to go that fast even with peformance springs like Comptechs which are less stiff than H and R springs. I have done search and someone said that maybe the ball joints could be the root cause. My comptech springs have all been installed properly on all four corners of the vehicle with the springs with the higest ratings on the drivers side of the car. Any suspension gurus on the forum, your input would be greatly appreciated.
