Squeaky Suspension
I Just Installed HR coilovers on my A4 and I noticed a chirp or squeaky sound when I go over bumps. My mechanic couldn't find the culprit. I think that it could be a bushing. Any thoughts would be much appreciated!!

Make sure..
All the bolts that go through bushings were tightened while they were loaded, or while the car was on the ground.
Doing otherwise causes preload on the bushings, and could cause them to fail prematurely. Could possibly cause them to squeek also.

yup yup. also for squeek in case not bushing, try silicon spay on handbrake cable housing...
as it enters a loop bracket close to rear axle. Nasty squeekies when that thing is dry.
If not bushing and handbrake, then the coils are making noise - coil bind
