Default Springs squeaking??

I have eibach sportlines for my 95 civic 4dr and Ive been noticing this for a while and didnt do anything about it. But when every I do a sharp turn or a u-turn I hear LOUD squeaking sounds, they last for the whole turn too. People have said that it could be from my tires rubbing but I doubt that because whenever I push down on my car i still hear it. I dunno maybe it can be my tires, but its really loud and I wanna know if others had the same problem and figured out what it was..

It is probably the coils of the springs rubbing against each other during the stress when you take a turn. Either that or your bushings are shot or need lubrication.

If you are using a camber kit, noises may come from there too.

My best guess is that the coils are rubbing which is quite normal in aftermarket suspension setups.

it's either....

A: your tires squeeking on the inner seam of the wheel well (you have to jack up your car and stick your head in there to see what Im talking about)

B: your bushings are worn. There's like....bah....4 (I think) bushings on each axel end. They can squeek when worn out.

C: its something else inside your car that "sounds" like it's comming from the wheel. I've had that before....only while turning too.

Theses small annoying probs are the worst fuggin probs ever. They just become so fuggin time consuming and irritating :doh:
