Hi, I notice if you out the car in a position where the car twists a little like entering a driveway or something the car will creak a little and it sounds like it is coming from maybe the rear right, Just wondering if that is failrly normal for the up grades i have done.

Adjustable sways, BMR Trailing/Toe and LCA. Z/28 UCA, Hotckis Brace and 1" Spings, Solid Cradle Bushings.

did you tq the bolts at ride height?

Yes, I installed everything and then drove it onto a drive on lift and torque everything to spec, Only thing I did not torque but did tighten on the Drive on were the Z/28 UCA bushings as I had a hard time getting anything in there to do it so I just tighten those down. All my bushings in the back are BMR with Metal inserts then spin so really dont think it matters if it is at ride height but I did it any way.

Cradle to Body bushings were not done at ride height but they don't matter.

check your sway bar and make sure it was installed properly, sounds like a sway issue.
when you greased after your install did you see grease coming out of the bushings? I have seen bad grease nipples in the past.

I have rod ends and they squeak. I lube them with dry lube which works fine until they get wet.

I can check the Bar again yes, I had Grease coming out both sides, I used Amsoil #2 first then I switched to Super Lube.Maybe I'll spray silicon spray on the Sway Bar end links, When i installed the bar I was not 100% Sure which way it went in, The one way it looks like it would have hit the springs, the other way it is close.

I’ve also been using Super Lube for years. It works great with everything. The drylube spray is great for getting into spots you can’t reach as well.

Spraying the End Links did not help, It sounds like the springs to me but they are new with the noise pieces on them.
