Squeak in coilovers ?
Had them in for a bit now with no endlinks as I didn't get them with the set . Anyway endlinks are here just need to be installed but a few days ago I noticed a squeak coming from my rear coils . Is it just stress from no end links or dirt ? Or do I need to call the manufacturer ?

Sry bout that mixed I meant to on u back but the pm's won't send from my phone . Yeah I got Megan's . I'm only dropped an inch so I don't have any pics in lowest setting . From what my install guy said they can drop well below two inches . Also the ride doesn't suffer that much in comparison to other brands .

The source of the squeak needs to be found. If the car is placed on stands, will is squeak if someone gets in the car and bobs up&down? As springs compress they rotate slightly, but on some lesser brands this metal against metal gets real loud, especially with CO's. Now it may also me the shock rod (or shaft). I have seen them also squeak as they are compressed down inside the shock body. The upper seal sometimes does this.
Try and locate the noise center and lube it with 100% pure silicone spray from 3M. Lube one place at a time, the try and generate the noise. Lube one place at a time until the squeak is silenced.
Had a set of Bilstein CO's that squeaked so much I had to sell them on eBay.
