Squeek squeek over bumps - what is it?

I have Comptech springs, Tokico Illumina shocks, and Comptech sways.

is it the polyurethane tape worn out on the sways?

the rubber sleeves worn out on the springs?

I'm paranoid now after the Comptech fiasco...

ideas?

Could be any of those three ... If its the sways, you can try driving straight down a road and then moving the steering wheel back and forth (please be safe when doing so ...) and see if you hear the squeeks then too. If you do, most likely its the sways. If not, then its probably the springs or shocks. You can try lubing the springs/shocks a little by using some WD40 or Silicon lubricant spray.. Just take of the wheels and spray it down. But be careful not to get any on your rotors!

It's most likely the sways. Happened to me not even 2 months after getting springs/sways installed. A little lube / tape and it's been fine since. Now about getting new CT springs ... TBA.

I have a minor squeak too. I thought it was the suspension but I pushed and rocked the car hard on each corner and nothing. I did found one squeak, it was the CAI. the part that screws into the body the screw was loose and when I tightened it, the squeak was gone. The sound is now back but this time it's not the CAI. When you find it, let me know.
