Default New Coilover Squeeking like a biatch..Avos! :(

Got my coilovers fitted at last, got to send one back already as the top adjuster came straight off which means a lot of hassle and the car on axel stands for the day!

But anyways onto my question, my drivers side front coilover squeeks AWFULLY LOUD whenever the cars moving on anything other than silk ... whats wrong?

I replaced all the greasy bushes under the mounts, and the top mounts themselves, all nuts bolts etc when I fitted them...and it was MOT'ed after so I would assume the rest of the car is ok, but its pissing me off and its so loud it makes the car sound like shit!

Cheers for the help in advance everyone

Already got to replace one of them because the top adjuster just fell off

So thats another day the cars on axel stands cause they will only repair the old unit
