    Squeaky coilovers driving me crazy

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Installed the basic Vogtlands back in July. I've been happy with them until recently. About 10 days ago the passenger side hardware began squeaking loudly while driving, especially in the first half hour or so after start up in the morning. The noise seems to subside a bit after the car "warms up." Squeaks and rattles bug the sh*t out of me. Is this likely an install problem or a defect?

    Re: Squeaky coilovers driving me crazy

    Ive got stasis coils on my a4 and the back drivers side coil squeaks like crazy too! I cant stand it! Tried spraying it w. some chain lube and it helped for about 2 days. We need to find a dedicated spring spray/oil; any ideas?

    had the same thing happen with h&r coils on my old s4. silicone lube sprayed on the upper part of the strut mounts solved it.
