    KW's creaking??

    a friend of mine has KWs on his BMW 5, they creak and make a lot of noise. Has anyone else had this issue with KWs on their LX?

    are you sure the creaking noise comes from the KWs and not from the BMW?

    no strange noises here.. (except of tires rubbing when doing extreme knight rider stunts)
    I'm sorry but the 300c is gone..

    could be the new springs on the rubber spring pockets.
    Get a silicone based lube and skeet the rubbers a good one.
    Factory springs have a a fair amount of assembly oil on them...

    Yep I gotta go with what Hammer says. My KWv1's made this noise for the first week or so and then it vanished. I'm certain that a little bit of lub would have fixed them up.
