Shock sqeaks
I have BMR 1.25'' drop and had KYB shocks all around (no problems). Koni had that sale and i order the on car adjustable ones. I swapped in the Koni and now i have a sqeak coming from the passenger side rear of the car. Drove it around for a bit, hoped it'd be lose and everything is nice and snug. I know its the shock making the sqeak. Is there anything i can do about it with out replacing it? Also when i did the shock swap I also added LCA relocation brackets and adjustable LCA and PHB.

One side may be over torqued, or not torqued down enough, or under greased. If its shock related then its likely the bushing between the shock and body of the car, not the shock itself.

Check all of your connections and lower control arm bolts. While you may not have changed anything else at time, swinging your suspension down into a path it normally doesn't travel can grab some dirt or debris and start the squeak. Another think to look at is the isolation bushing for the lower bolts on the shocks. They don't require, but wouldn't be hurt by a small bit of synthetic grease. Check this stuff out and let me know what you turn up or if it solves your problem.
