New springs squeaking

Z370Z011 · 01-24-2013, 11:59 PM

So i installed some tein springs about 1k miles ago and the front ones seem to squeak every time i hit a bump.. Any thoughts on what it might be? I will confess that i forgot to put that paper gasket that goes on top of the shock back on.. Can it be that?

Do you have isolators (Little rubber strip) on the springs? Sometimes you need to transfer the isolators from the stock springs. It could also be the paper gasket as well.

I did put the isolators.. But it only had them on top, not the bottom. So i figure thats normal?..
