Default Squelling on steering

Since changing my suspension, to lowering spring, my sterring is very squeeky. it only happens when i turn the steering wheel to the left. I know its not the belts as i have only just changed them and they are nice and tight. i cant think what it is but this is doing my head in... Can anyone help please? Carlos

i have had exactly the same problem mate, but i think fingers crossed it might be sorted now... check your shocks to make sure they are holding the weight ok.. is it both sides that you get the squeeling of only one?

and also check the backing plate around the disks to make sure there is no touching.

mine was left hand side also, when the car is down on the floor, get your hands around the spring and see if you can move them,, if so.. then the problem is that the springs are too short for the OE shock or the shock is nackered... also re-grease all the Joints..
