Question about squeeking front lowering springs

[cobra199711]

Had a shop install the Roush ones- they are the 1 inch loweering for the front (they are suppose to be plug and play). They continue to squeek and when i went back to the shop they said the factory bushing/isloator they re used is not sitting properly? The kit didn't come with any others ones other than the bump stops for the rear. Anyone deal with this before? thanks

Did you also install new dampers, or just the springs?

There's a ton of reasons why this may be happening.

The isolators may be shot, or installed improperly. That's certainly a possibility. It could also be something like the springs not set in their perches correctly, or the control arms and strut mounts not torqued properly.

When I installed mine the front passenger side squeaked a little bit. I torqued the strut nut a little more and it stopped. I get absolutely no noises with mine. I'm wondering if they re-used the front rubber coil covers (vibration dampeners?) that comes with the oem springs over the last coil.

The re-used the oem isolators. per Roush this is what they recommend.ll have them tighten the struts down a bit. Car only has 8k miles so not worn out yet.
