    So does anyone have a diagram that I can reference to? When I installed my progress springs on my stock shocks in April I discovered I had a lil squeak that sounded like a cricket. It didn't really bother me at the time but now I am like WTF!? I have to find out what is doing this shit. I am thinking maybe I didn't tighten something enough, I dont know.....but I need help b4 I go crazy.

    it might be your springs arent mounted properly to the mounting stuff when you assembled it. I have the same problem when i put back my stock springs but i should get rid of it when i install my lowering springs again.

    Might be a worn bushing for the shock(the one between the sprint and the strut mount. KYB sells replacements and would be something worth trying.

    What would happen if the #3 bolt is over torqued? We did not know the torque specs when installing so we torged it almost double than recommend (about 120 give or take)

    check the bushing down where that bolt you overtorqued is.
