Assuming you've orientated the top spring cup correctly on re-assembly, it could be that on compression, part of the spring is becoming coilbound ie two coils contacting. Sleeves to go on the spring material to stop metal to metal contact are available.

As above, I normally use some hose pipe around the coils that touch, plenty of grease to stop the water sitting in there,once its settled just take a rag to any excess grease that comes out.
