HELP! Coils overs started squeaking.

Hey guys bought my BC cloilover Br series about a month and a half ago. Now I'm hearing a squeak coming from what I think is the front passenger side coil. I've tightened down all bolts and reset the preload and cleaned the coils. Added some white lithium greases to the upper and lower spring cups also to the upper section in the pic. And still no luck. Any idea of what it could be. It's not constant but happens frequently. And isn't that loud.



Anyone had this issue and fixed it??

JDM_fa562 or whatever his name is told me the pillowball mounts are going bad.

Mine are squeaking like mad too. I'm looking to call up D2 and have them send me a replacement set.

Call up BC, I'm positive they'll send you a replacement set at a discount or for free.

I'm pretty sure BC coilovers got a one year warranty. Give them a call.

I just order mine and I hope mine don't squeak either.

Really that's good to hear. Ive email bc with my concern and sent them a picture of the area cause Sam the Tech was not sure exactly what I ment. So hopefully I hear back from them on Monday or Tuesday. I'm so pi$$ed right now. Their practically brand new. Less than 2 months old.

Emailed all my stuff related to my issue and is being looked at right now. Turns out that the shock is defective.
