I installed s techs and I am getting a squeaking noise. the rear passenger doesn't look like its seated right and every time i hear a constant squeaking noise. I wont be able to pull the spring out, compress it, and put it back in for 1 1/2-2 1/2 weeks, and wanted to know what it might be. Im guessing it could be that at the top two of the metal springs could rub and squeak, and im trying to think of a fix, just needs to be temporary. I only drive 1 mile to work and 1 mile back and I can't work on my car where I live. Ill try to get a pic and post it. any ideas/temp fixes?
edit: heres a pic of the squeaking spring. I can see that its out of the boot at the top, I would like to fix it without having to take it off the car, compress, and what not since I can't even take my wheel off without getting hassled.

slowly it was on a lift when I did it.
I know the top two coils arent seated right on the spring thats probably causing the squeaking and its the only spring that squeaks.
