Squeaking from newly installed Koni Yellows?
I took videos...
Squeaking 2 - YouTube
Squeaking 1 - YouTube

So basically I installed these yesterday, I took them back out today, made sure everything was aligned correctly, and put them back in. However, the passenger side rear shock is making this horrendous noise, anybody have an idea what could be wrong???

Tein H-techs, they're brand new. The Konis are used though, the old owner said they only have 3k miles on them.

Oh......The konis are occasionally prone to premature failure. Can you post a side shot of your car in its current state?
