    Cant seem to figure out this squeak/creak from my front suspension. All was fine and dandy till I went through a hard rain, after that Ive noticed on any rough terrain or cycling of the passenger side its terrible. So far I have greased my built right uca, sprayed crc teflon on the uniballs but I think its coming from the coilover. Is there any good lubricant for the lower shock bearing? Or should I start looking to replace?

    They’ve prolly got 20,000-30,000 of road/little wheeling. No salted roads winter driving

    Spray the lower bearing on the kings and see if it stops for a couple days.

    How I found mine was bad, had about 30k miles on them

    I’ve sprayed Teflon on the lower shock bearing and rotated side to side and it doesn’t squeak, torqued the uca bolt. I’ve sprayed white lithium on the lca bushings.

    Well I greased my uca again, so I’ve ruled it down to either lca bushing bj or lower shock bearing
