Hey guys don't panic, just make sure u guys have the upper nut tighten real good before installation, because some techs forget to torque these when they install them. If they start makin noise it's ok, because u have to remember these aren't oem stuff they were made for performace in mine, so its ok. One more thing i believe the noise is also commin from when the spring are compress together when goin over bumps, and uneven suface.

Well, it is squeaking and also I noticed that it more like clunking noise. Not all the time but I notice more when I am turning over the bumps at slow speed like going over speed bumps at parking lot. Do I need to reinstall the TEINs?

mine sometimes do that too but only squeaking at low speed on bumps. no clunking and squeaking isn't too loud. how loud is yours?
