Hey, so ive just added new coilovers to my ST and I wanna say ive set the front near the top and its still just off the tires, anyway Im seeking advice as ive set the 2 front suspension the exact same level and the left is completely fine but when I turn right theres alot of squeeking coming from right side which sounds like the wheel but can't confirm it. Hoping someone knows or has had this issue in the past and can offer tips/fixes

i found the oem rear shock pads are quieter that poly replacements. don't know what your set up is, but I assume with coil overs, you've upgraded when possible.

There is a bearing at the top of the strut tower that bears some the weight of the vehicle as the strut turns when cornering. If you hit it with a little lubricant and the squeaking disappears, that is the source of the sound. It's not a good lubricant for that purpose but silicon spray lube will be loose enough to make it into there, while not collecting dirt or damaging seals.
