Hi Guys,
I fitted my coilovers the other week. Everything seems to be fine apart from I get a creaking on the back 2 shocks.
Due to how sound seems to travel through the springs and the body of the car, I cant seem to find which part is causing the creaking noise.
Anyone got any ideas??

its the black plate separating the main and the helper spring. Spray some WD40 and it shall be gone, will be back soon though, I had to respray every so often.

changed them matey and all the washers springs everything new what you would need for the rear shockers. Do you reckon sum WD40 n them mite hep.
-
give the entire spring and shock a spray in WD40 then, seek if it helps.
-
Mine creaked, I used spray grease but wd40 should do the same trick.
-
use some copper slip it will stop the adjusters seizing too, wd40 isn't as long lasting whatever you use it will adract road crap though

Thanks for all the quick replies! I thought it might be that disc.
I will lube it up with some copper grease.
Many thanks for the quick replies by all :)
