Default BC coil making noise

One last post here before I spend $300 on a new coil. Im getting this creeking, sqeeking coming from my passenger rear coil. I only here it at very low speed like pulling into and out of parking spots. Coming to slow stop with a bumpy road. Is the cartridge shot? Unfortunately I dont work on the car myself and take it to a mechanic. Im going to have to buy a new coil because its just easier for the guy to swap in and out.

Its been going on for 3 years now and I have about 45k on them. The squeeking and creeking was very minimal for awhile coming and going. Now its constant but only hear it when pulling into and out of parking spots. I dont hear it on the highway while driving. I guess im just going to buy a new coil.

open your trunk try to push down the car if you hear noise see which side, if you said so that one Coil damper is out ! can you get them just a pair ? that would save you some bucks, usually Coil last for 4-5 years, if you live near me i would buy them off you.

Anything like the "knock-knock" sound I was getting in my video here?

I purchased a new BCR shock only from FIGs for $100 plus shipping.

Did you ever look into it? Im concered it could be a safety issue. I noticed it a little over a year or so after install. Been riding with it for 3 years now. Its driving me nuts so I guess im just goin to get a new coil.
