they were on the shitty "coilovers" from the middle of july to the beggining of september. then i changed over to the nuespeeds. I installed them myself, which i've done a million times before, just since this time happens to be on MY car it has to be fucked. what kind of lube would you suggest for the bushings? I think it's the springs rubbing on the strut when it comes to the squeak, i'm just not sure what to do about it, i'm going to try wrapping the bottom couple coils with rubber or conduit or something and lubing it all up. hopefully that works.

I have a feeling the bushings are shot (after 95,000 miles of SoCal freeway traffic they should be). Which means I need to come up on $200 to get some energy suspension bushings and find someone with a hydraulic press to get the stock ones out. Hopefully that'll clear up the klunk and get rid of my steering wheel wobbles I get between 70 and 80 mph.

anybody else have any idea? if I recorded the sounds and posted a sound clip would it help?
