Message	No subframe spacers. Subframe spacers are OEM. The coils have already some PU tubing on both ends, all the bushings (coil seat, stopper...) are ES urethane black bushings. All this is installed since 2006 with about 30k miles. I removed everything this we and re-lub everything. When I removed the shock assemblies, I exercised the hub up and down and there was no squeak. I also exercised the piston rod of the shock, normal sound (whooshhh). The squeak is like a rod going through an extremely tight rubber piece and rubbing against it (difficult to explain). I gave a try again yesterday evening. I got the feeling the major squeak moved to the left finally and there's now a minor squeak on the right (pushing trunk lid rear corners). I start to think it's the Tokico Illumina themselves but what kind of constraint/stress could be put on them to get this squeak !? The axle housing has a bushing for the shock (lower point), they are still in place but what are the consequences if they are weak ? Could it be the piston rod not travelling perfectly in the axis ? Are the Tokica Illumina prone to squeak ?
