Just had the ProKit installed a couple weeks ago and now when I take it slow over steep curbs/driveways my car creaks. Do I need to lubricate anything? Anyone else have this issue?

 

Did you have ur Alighnmemt done?
If that didnt help your installer did not do it properly whether it be a lose bolt or bushing not installed properly. No prob with my eibach Pk. Double check the install that's the problem.

 

Where's the creaking comong from? are there any other sounds?

When I first installed my Eibachs... had rattling and squeaking problems on the front, driver side.

Turned out that it was the bushing not set properly. No problems ever since then.

 

It's coming from the spring/strut areas. For example, when I go up my driveway at an angle and the left front goes up first, that corner creaks for an instant. When I do down the driveway and the right front goes down first, that corner creaks for an instant.

I am having my alignment done tomorrow and I'll have them run a quick visual check.

 

Is it the suspension or chassis that's creaking? Stiffer suspension puts more load on the chassis which induces creaks that originally didn't exist with stock suspension.

 

look at the bolt that secures the strut assembly to the chassis/body. (from engine bay).... are they the same length? When mine had the problem, the drivers side was obviously shorter. Meaning, it wasn't as tight as the other side.

 

did they put the washer back in that goes between the body and assembly

 

I don't think it is from the chassis.

I'll have the alignment shop check.

I don't think the shop left anything out but I wasn't close enough to be sure.

 

Did this ever get fixed and what was the fix if so? I had the same springs installed, along with a camber kit and Stillen sway bars. No issues originally but about 6 months later this started and is getting worse. Took it to the dealership and they said it was probably the silicone bushings but they said since it wasn't stock parts they couldn't do anything.

I think the guy who did it had it aligned the day after the springs were installed. Will the alignment cause this as it only does it at slow speeds and normally slight inclines or declines on on one side or the other like when I turn into my driveway?

 

Never got it fixed but it is less frequent. If I hit a steep incline at an angle it still creeks occasionally.

 

grease your sway bar bushings
