    Hey everyone... has anyone else had their Icon or DR Coilovers develope squeaks? I had mine rebuilt less than a year ago after I bought them used and they were fine for a while and all of a sudden they started squeaking / creaking really bad.

    I called Icon and DSM and Icon said to lube the shaft "not that shaft" so I did that and it goes away for awhile and comes back if I don't keep spraying it.

    DSM said it could be bad heims but I haven't lubed those and so it wouldn't make sense to me since it went away w/ lube temporarily.

    Thoughts?

    So did you send them in or what? DSM told me they would pretty much do the heims for free but idk about wipers. Problem is it's $60 shipping there and back...
