coilover question

i had my coils put on last week...they were fine until today before i went to get my wheels aligned...i noticed this squeaking coming out the front driver's side coil...it sounds like something is loose or something...i doubt i blew a shock because then it would be leaking...when i go slow i can hear it and it's really annoying...

if someone could help please do...

thanx...

take it back to the shop you had it installed at and have them look at it. are your coils new or used? if they are used then maybe the shock is gone. if it's new then it's most likely an install problem (something rubbing)

proparts did my install...they were brand new coils..i heard it could be the rotor heat plate being bent or something...it sounds like clanking...

well first off you bought crap coils so dont' expect quality...second take her back and let them look cause it could be alot of things and unless I had it up on a lift I coudln't say...take it back and let them worry about it...
