Noise from suspension when in Reverse

Its been about 2 weeks now since i put my illuminas with the s-techs on. i have noticed this noise though, that is really starting to annoy me. When ever i am driving and put it in reverse, after driving lik 30, it was make a noise as soon as the car moves backward. It sounds like a groaning noise, i think it has a click to it too, but after i back up then come to a stop it wont do it again, unless i put it in drive and go forward. It can be replicated by just putting it in drive and reverse going back and forth. And i only hear it from the front, not sure if its just one side or both. Do any of you hear this or know or have any idea what it is. I checked all the bolts and im pretty sure their tight.


Thanks
Brandon

could be that the spring isn't sitting on the perch properly... you have to turn the spring until it butts up against the stop on the perch...

also, do the springs have those rubber sleeves on the bottom... i think those help isolate the springs from rubbing metal on metal...

had the same problem....if it is a squelin it just means you need to replace your rear brake pads..they are worn down to the sensors and will make a lot of noise when you go in reverse
