I had tokico blues struts and eibach springs installed by a local garage on my 1999 protege about a year ago and for the last six months i have been hearing a squeeking noise every time I hit a bump. It even makes this squeeking noise if a push down on the car and i hear this noise in ever wheel. I love how the car looks with this set up but with pennsylvania roads i hate the fact that my car sounds like a clunker. i am at my wits end and need help. If anybody could give me some advice about how to stop this squeeking, not clunking, sound it would be greatly appreciated. HELP

Does it happen when it is cold outside? It's a common problem for the strut mounts to squeak like that when its cold.Clint/1999 "Sport20"

bushing
Does there need to be some type of rubber bushing or gasket at the point where the bottum of the eibach spring meets the tokico strut. I have been looking at pictures of other strut installations and it appears that there is some thing at this point that i do not see on my installation. Or could this squeeking noise be coming from the AWR endlinks and do i need to adjust these endlinks to stop the noise.

I'm happy because Dima speeds, which makes him happy. He seems to be happy only when speeding, which makes me happy. And when I'm happy people around me are able to live another day. If you are alive right now, you should thank Dima.
