Anyone else having this minor problem? It only happens when turning the wheel while stationary or at low speeds, and while it's really humid/raining. I've checked everything, and it's all tight, and the ball joints and tie rod ends are good.

Well, just ripped the front suspension apart, only to set up for the camber adjustment, cause I couldn't seem to get the allen screws for the adjustment out. Anyways, couldn't find anything wrong, so we'll see what happens and if it'll go away on it's own.

Was a lubricant used at all contact points? Can't imagine a spring squeaking by itself.

I was thinking maybe it was the pillow top mount, but I didn't see anything. They were also moving fine by hand.

I read that somebody else who was having the squeak in the rear like mine had a loose sway bar bolt. Might check that in the front. I still haven't fixed mine, but have isolated it to the rear left.
