I am familiar with TRI-flow, you must be a rider....... :wink: My concern is that metal to metal contact, tri-flow will only work for so long and it will produce a dirt and grime build up around the adjusting nuts on my coilover. Lubricating was one of my first options to mind but I think it needs an actual sound deadning pad or something....

You are on the right track, thank you for your input comajoe!!

found sumthin'

I wanted to get a warranty on my ____e so I bought the TRD springs to go with the 18" TRD Rims. Don't hate...congratulate!!


Boxhead :twisted:

I had TRD's, those rode nice but I had to upgrade to an aftermarket for the drop and dampening....

Are you sure the squeaking is comming from your springs? A lot of suspension squeaks sound like that, but they're actually the control arm bushings. Make sure you lube in the right place!

this is like after the JIC's were installed. They never squeaked before. I would have to bet it that its the springs. I am going to get off my ___ here and go look at it, I need to rotate my tires anyway..


I will let you fella's know in a few.....

Permatex anti-seize works well on bushings and springs.~~~~~~~~scott

Are you absolutley sure it's the springs causing the noise? For the past 4 days mine would squeak in the rear over uneven road or when turning. It was driving me crazy cuz it didn't do that right after I installed my Tanabe's. Found out it was the rear seats weren't latched all the way! The striker and latch would rub since they were a little loose and make a loud squeaking sound.

My concern is that metal to metal contact, tri-flow will only work for so long and it will produce a dirt and grime build up around the adjusting nuts on my coilover. Lubricating was one of my first options to mind but I think it needs an actual sound deadning pad or something....

cut a small rubber donut from an inner tube.. inner tubes from a wheelbarrow would work great!

You're the one thats hatin, by supporting overpriced dealer mods.

Puppy, eh? From the looks of it, you're the one who can't speak anything but a mix of gangster jibberish and AOL language...

I wasn't hating, you just stuck your 2 cents in every post you could, talking up your factory mods like no one else has them... I just think it's obsurd to purchase factory wheels for so much money... You can get a set of high quality aftermarkets for cheaper than that.

Factory parts tend to be the highest quality in my experience. The TRD wheels are RacingHart wheels and for 18s they are some of the strongest I have seen. Sure they are not as inexpensive as some others but what if you have the money? Different strokes for different folks. That is what makes cars interesting. Enjoy~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~scott

Did you ever find anything usefull here? Was the squeaking from the springs themselves or is it the rubber bushings? I need to know because I just installed some teins and the customer has not had any problems at all. In fact you should PM him to see what he says. His screen name is " boxlax " He had the precisionmuffler.com axle back installed and the tiens at the same time and he loved them both.
