Question Shocks & Springs REPLACEMENT... FEW QUESTIONS...

Picked up a set of 1LE springs and shocks.. (Decarbon's)

Anyways...

Currently I get squeaks from the rear which I know already is the springs.. What can I put on the new springs in the rear so I have no squeeks ?? Also does anyone have any tips for the fronts?? The rears are simple as can be but I've never got into the front end before...

Any tips and or more parts I'll need to assist in my install would be great..

My goal is to atleast get my Rear LCA's in and the Rear springs/shocks...

Will the car ride funny with new parts in the rear but not the front?

Any INSTALL GUIDES?? LINKS ??



Thanks in Advance...

On the front you just need to remove the lower balljoint to get the strut assembly out.

You might not be able to get the nut off the top of the assembly once you get it out in which case you will have to cut it off with a dremel etc.
