Strut problem????

[msp35]

I've had about all I can take from the 'mattress in the trunk'
My car is lowered with the Pro-Kit. The swaybar bushings normally squeek
like crazy, but I've removed them, lubed them, and they no longer make noise. However yesterday I had my g/f stand in the trunk (she's short) and basically jump so I could track the problem. It turns out, as the driver side spring compresses there is the squeek. I doussed it with wd-40 to confirm and waaalllaaaa it stopped........for 20 miles!
I can fit my hands in there to squees the coils together enough for 1 or 2 squeeks so that confirms the locatino of the noise. Now can anyone tell me the cause, or how to get rid of it? Or is it still, possibly a bad strut?

Thanks

it doesnt sound like a bad strut it sounds like the bearing plate that is on the top of the strut. I'd try to install a new bearing plate first, and if that doesnt work it could be the rubber piece that goes in-between the spring and the strut itself. Thats the best I can do without hearing it. Good Luck!!

Thanks for the input I'll check this weekend.
