did you get the car aligned after the install? if not you need to. as for the squeeking sound, is there top hats and bearings that came with the kit? what coilovers are they? this will help us answer you better

At least describe what you mean when you say the top hats won't stay in.

Do you have the bearings between the top hat and the front mount? What mounts are you using?

if your talking about a grinding/clunking noise.. all you have to do is take some axle greese and put it on the bearings at the top.... this will happen every time you spray your car off if you spray out your wheel wells ... its retarded i know... but its how GC are...

if you are using ground controls, and the right strut mounts you shouldnt really have to grease anything. the bearings even when dry shouldlnt have that much friction. granted greasing of all bearings should occur regardless, if the bearing is riding where it should, you shouldnt have any clunk noises at all...
