    Good morning all! I have a 22 ORP with KDSS. About a year ago I went to an Eibach Stage 1 lift and Dobinsons UCAs. I'm not sure if I'm only just noticing this or if it's just bugging me more lately but in early mornings the front suspension makes a creaking noise. Speed bumps especially. Later in the day, or later in the drive, it goes away so I'm assuming it's not a faulty part. Any ideas? I'm floating the idea of just buying the Stage 2 fronts down the line anyway so maybe I should just expedite that. Thanks everyone!

    Do the UCAs have poly bushings? Do they have grease zerks? It might be that you need a light coating of grease on the bushings.
