Tokiko Illumina Creaking
I recently put on a full illumina suspension and when i am going at very low speeds the suspension creaks as i turn the steering wheel and from any type of movement. Can anyone explain this

the spring is probably not seated properly. check the stut bearing as well. what kind of springs are you using? is it the tokico spring/shock combo?
