Default Megan Coilover SWEAKING in rear.. HELP!!

hello. well i had my megan coilovers for about 3 months and was happy with them until recently. well i had them set close to the middle, but more on the stiff side and dropped with a 1/2" fender gap. well after loading a passenger in the rear right(done about two to three times), i began to notice a sweaking sound. it was barely noticable at first but is getting more notiable. only noticable with radio off and when going over small bumps. when i park the car and push down on the right side of the car, the sweaking can be heard. the left side doesnt sweak. the car still rides fine as if it wasnt blown and i even have messed with the stiffness to see if it would go away but still no luck

has anyone experienced or heard this sweak? are they blown, or getting there? some other cause? bushings need lube???? HELP by the way, my sc is a 1997 w/ 190 K miles if that helps!

now im starting to regret not getting the tein SS =( . thats what i get for being cheap... i even got megans on my 01 civic too.

I've had mine for 7 months now... no problems/squeaking of any kind. Front and rear are both tucked. It's low.

front and rear is set to 16 (right in the middle, since its 32 way adjustable).

Try lubricating it with some grease or something, maybe itll help
