I have Super Streets on my NC approx 2 months old.
Seems like the bump rubber inside the dust covers on the back struts more position and make a squeak as I hit bumps or go off speed humps.

All I need to do to get rid of the noise is jack the car and fiddle/twist the dust covers and the noise is gone; until it comes back.

Has anyone else had this problem arise?

I think the bump rubber that moves freely up and down the rod underneath the dust cover must more and get stuck in an unusual position against the dustcover and cause the noise.

I am considering removing the dust covers all together.
I am just wanting to make sure that the bump rubber that is underneath the covers will not have any problems with out them.

Can anyone suggest another way around this problem?

Get it sorted under warranty??

I wouldn't remove the dust covers - they're there for a reason. I'm sure doing so would definately void the warranty on them too. They will most certainly reduce the life of them once you start getting dirt and shite in there.

Is the bump rubber concealed by the dust cover supposed to more freely up and down the rod?
I moved the dust cover and saw the bump rubber which looked like a polystyrene circular shaped thingie; seemed to be moving all over the place.
