Hey Guys I just installed kybs and tein lowering springs and all I`m getting is alot of creeking from the springs rubbing together near the bottom. I could see the wear where it is rubbing. I only hear the noise in slow speeds and going over bumps I could hear the springs rubbing and hitting itself. What can I do to fix this? The bump stops are at the top of the spring and cannot be moved adleast I don`t think. Give me some help guys I do not know what could do to fix it....maybe buy vinyl and melt it on to spring to stop or reduce the noise? I tried researching this and haven`t really found any solutions. Thanks guys

make sure the spring is mounted on the bottom of the strut and top mount correctly, you could tell by the rubber piece indentation. also make sure the top mount is on the semi square groove with the strut stem.

What if I can't get the rubber to line up in the rear? Seems like when I did it the spring was just short of it? Maybe I've done it wrong?
