How do you fix squeaking coming from your coilover's dampeners?!
 
I just installed the coilovers and there's this squeaking on quick bumps in the front
passenger side... I made sure everything was tight or torqued to specs.
The alignment shop said it was coming from the dampeners. I called Tein up and they said to give it a couple hundred miles for the shaft to lube up on its own. Anyone else experience this with their coilovers and is their a quick fix to this...?!!
Its really driving me nuts!

Its a very common problem with Teins, i had that same problem with my Tein HA on my supra.

put a little bit of silicone grease on the pillowball by the camber plates this usually helps.

thanks for the suggestion!! this fixed it right up.. I actually put some heavy duty grease on the top and bottom of the pillowball mount plates... squeaked a few more times until the grease worked its way in I guess. Thanks again...
