I noticed these noise from the back of my car since i had the coilovers installed.
the noise is like those "squeak noise", "creaking noise" when you walking on those very old wood staircases. the noise isnt loud at all. but noticeable. everytime I hit a bump or make a sharp turn, it makes the noise.

Check the bolt on the strut tops. The big ass one that connects to the shock body.

When I was adjusting one of my rear coilovers it loosened the nut and made the same exacty noise.

oh.. that makes sense. I was twisting the shock body to adjust the ride height. is there any special tools to tighten it up if it loosen? the damper dialer is on it s way

Just use whatever socket it is, yeah its the bold the damper dial is attached to.

Be sure to not over tighten it.

could be your bushings starting to wear out. my car was making that noise on stock suspension for a while, whenever i made a hard corner. now it hops all over the place because the bushings are fucked.

i had a creaking, just fixed it, onthe RUCA, take out the bolt and get some grease, and grease it up, (after you clean it of course) if you don't know what i mean, and the previous thing you tried doesnt work PM me

I just tried to tighten up the upper bolt of the damper. but when I started to torque, the upper plate bearings turned along with the bolt. couldn't figure out how to hold the bearings still.

again, the noise is just loud enough to noticeable, if i turn the radio up, i wont hear it. but i know it is there. and i think the noise is kinda from the top, above the wheels?!! what the hell am i saying.

I still cant figure out what makes the noise. I dont think it's the top damper bolt.
