Got my trd suspension in last Tuesday. Started hearing a creak from the back right yesterday. Only does it when going slow through a parking lot or turn. Just got an alignment this morning and now it sounds worse. Could it be settling or did the spring move out of place? Need to know it's ok before driving 300 miles up to vacation this weekend.

What did you have installed? Just springs/struts? Rear swaybar? Where was it installed?

trd springs & shocks. Buddy of mine did it at his house. Trust him more than any shop.

there definately weren't any extra parts laying around. Everything was triple checked and lined up before inatalling. Does an alignment affect the rear sway? I know I had some serious toe on the rear. They gave me the printout. It drives much smoother after. Need to take it out for another drive. Probably will go back and have them check it out since it did get worse after.

speaking of squeaks and and bumpstops. The bumpstops are the foam pieces right? We shaved off like an inch when I installed my springs. I'm getting creaking too, but I'm not too sure.

the front hasn't creaked at all. I noticed it a little on the rear after unloading a fully packed trunk. Cut them in half & they've been fine.
