Default Qa1 squeaking when set to anything above 5?

okay here is this problem I have been having recently, I did the hose mod and thought it was that but put the stock spring isolators back on and it still squeaks like all hell.

so to try and figure it out I set the springs to full soft or "1" on both sides and NO squeaking at all.

set them both to "5" and they squeak like hell. the driver side squeaks more/louder than the passenger side.

any ideas?

yes, progressively gets worse as the shocks get harder.

Chad, i spoke with QA1 and their explanation is that the adjustor **** has a spring behind it and the high pressure fluid going by it is making it vibrate. How old are your shocks?

not sure on how old the bodies are, I bought them used here on tech, however they were rebuilt before being shipped to me, they have done it since day one on the car however.

let me guess they have to be rebuilt again to fix the adjuster spring?
