can't stop squeeking

okay so this started happening worse over the past two weeks. I put on my dropzone springs, yes shitty springs I know, but too late for that now just wanted it lowered. It squeeks like a ****. even if the car is off and I go to hop in it has a high pitched squeek, but only side to side, although while driving STRAIGHT it squeeks horrible, and is worse when the engine has been on longer through out the day.. I dont think the sway bar would cause squeeks, strut mounts would be with the turn of the steering wheel right?, am I missing something?? It sounds like a guy banging a chick on a Mr.squeeks mattress...

lol. no, the only answer I will probably get is "it's your fault for buying cheap ****". But w.e, I cut my bump stops and still slam really hard when I hit a bump.

hey i found the squeeking problem! you kno the vertical bar that connects to the strut?? well the strut arm was rubbing against the bult wrong... i took it off and put it back on and it took almost all of the squeeking out... im thinking about putting a washer inbetween it all to take it all out permanently
