Coilover Spring Squeak?

My coilovers are making a squeak noise.. I thought it was my sway bar bushings but I lubed it up but it's not. It sounds like my springs on my coilovers are squeaking. It is only my front passenger side. I have double checked to make sure all is tightened up and nothings loose. To my knowledge it is not blown.. Any one have any input?

Thanks.

It's possible that the noise is coming from the pillowball mount. Springs hardly squeak at all except on a few rare occasion.

try rubber sleeves on the springs where they make contact to themselves if lubing up the pillowball mount doesn't work. TEIN sells them on their website.
