    Default Sqeaky koni sport yellows

    Has anybody that installed the yellow koni's noticed chirping ? My rear shock is chirping, sounds like I have birds on the back seat. Any ideas what to use to stop it, I assume some sort of lube.

    Probably the lower bushing.
    Unfortunately the lca front spindle and shock drop the lca. Pull the sleeve out of the bushing and lube her up.
    As long as you don't loosen the inner adjustable bolt you don't need to align the car after.

    It could be the trailing arm tho.
    Lube everything and replace anything bad while your in there. That squeak will only get worse and more annoying.

    Could it be the shock itself, was quiet before the installation.

    Its possible it's the shock. Unlikely I would think. Them outer bushings on the spindle van easily make noise so I would assume it's them or the lower shock bushing.
