Tien Flex Z Squeak
 
I have a weird squeak coming from the front driver side suspension. I just installed my Tiens and had them aligned the first 2 weeks I had them on no squeak. Slowly I started hearing a squeak I have no idea what it is my guess is the spring rate but again I have no clue. It only happens at >7 miles an hour and only when I am barely turning the wheel when I turn even slightly hard the squeak doesn't appear. Any clues? anyone have this problem before?

Revalaton The squeak only occurs when im turning the wheel counter-clockwise at a full stop

Whats that smell? 12-02-2016 04:48 PM

How wide are you running your wheel set up?

Hmm I was going to say it was your tire rubbing at full lock lol. But idk I would call tein and see if they've had problems like this before.

When I had the Flex Z's, there were random squeaks here and there. I just learned to live with it :D

I have mine on max low in the front (removed locking ring and twisting the bottom bracket all the way up) and level rear (so max shock length plus some pre-load shortening). No squeaks at all.

I heard mine like OP today... whether is too cold to check it out. I am guessing it's spring rate since my wheel is stock as well as used default setting on lowering.

any idea?

i think it's cold weather causes it. i had soft setting and dialed to stiffest setting and sound is reduced much. i almost had no noise when weather was warm. so i guess it's temperature related.
