I installed Tein SS's on my '93 vert with swapped 5 speed about two weeks ago...

recently i noticed i have the squeaks on my rear passenger side coilover... i retorqued the top bolts, and still got the squeaks....

I'm thinkin that the gaskets (is that what you call that piece of paper like thing that goes between the top of the coilover and the body?) being ripped could cause this sound... i thought I was able to put them back in.... but I guess I was wrong... could a ripped gasket cause the squeaks?

Thanks in advance...

weird. i have squeaking from both of my rear tein FLEX coilovers also.. just the rears as far as i can tell when i push down on the back. friend told me its the spring making contact with the metal upper pillow mount and i should put somethign in between but i would like to hear other's comments..

Try spraying rubber lube on them, as well as on all your rubber joints/bushings.
