Lowering Squeaks

For all you guys that are lowered, did any of you have any squeaking from the rear of the car. Today I pushed down on the passenger rear side of the car and I heard it squeak. Do you think something was not put on right when the springs where install like a bushing or something. Also From the looks of it, doesn't seem as if i need a camber kit and i didn't get an alignment and the steering is still perfectly straight, by the way im on H&R's!

It's most likely the end of the spring coil being pushed all the way into the pocket of the bushing. Try backing it out 1/4" to 1/2" from the end of the bushing spring pocket. That will give the spring enough room to expand and contract in there without binding on anything.

I think you forgot to post pictures!

From what I know, the car can drive fine even though you will be out of spec. Its not that the car will drift or pull, you'll just be way out of specs on your alignment which will seriously wear your tires down. That's the reason for the alignment...but someone please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong...
