Default HELP MY CST are squeaking

i was out with my girl just crusing today since i been in the crib all day long. and i hit a few speed bumps and thought nothing of it. a few minutes later my coilovers on my ps side is squeaking is not squaking bad but you can notice its loud. i just had my lca bushings replaced with the prothane kit and i know for a fact that you have to lube them but i am out of grease as of now

i am 208k miles deep in my sc i have just had the following replaced
2 front wheel bearings replaced
all new front wheel studs
new CST zero 1 coilovers w/ zeal and swift 080 springs
tanabe sway bar
enegry sway bar mounts


i cannot think of my my car would squeak unless my LCAS are fired or my bushings are dried but not rotted out

i tried looking for a cst dealer but thier only in japan with no contact info i hit up some aussie dealer to see if i can get a reply but no luck just yet

also i any of u guys are looking into coils CST are awsome is like and orgy of coilover brands lmao


any ideas guys

Are these the same coilovers you are selling for $1500 in the classifieds? Thats a bit much for leaking coilovers don't you think?

He didn't say they were leaking. It's the control arm bushings that are out of grease.

Nice catch. I didn't realize until now.

Never heard of CST coilovers. I assume it is not the same as Tein CST?

CST coilovers have no association with Teins CST other than the 3 letters. Completely different company/product.
