Exclamation Squeaking/creaking when accelerating from stop

After installing coilovers, my car makes this squeaking/creaking sound when im accelerating from stop (like when i start to move after im still at a red light or something).
i have looked online and everyone seems to have a SQUEALING problem when braking, so obviously it isn't relatable...
i caps squealing because to me squeaking and creaking is not the same as squealing.
i honestly dont think that the coilovers are the problem... but i could be wrong?

fyi, this problem didnt necessarily start right after i installed the coilovers, but weeks after i made some final height adjustments and thats when it started to happen.

second fyi, the creak/squeak disappears once the car starts leaving 1st gear and going into 2nd. the sound literally exists for 2 seconds at most

I experienced this problem. In my case there was a fairly loud squealing noise when I started out (in first gear) and went away after shifting the car into second gear. The squeal was a worn input bearing in the transmission.

Apparently i didn't tighten everything enough when installing the coilovers (spring bucket bolt and nut)
