Default Squeak in rear end when driving

I have a squeak in the rear, somewhere, when I am driving and the suspension travels due to bumps in the road. It is a high pitched sound, as if something is brushing up against a moving part. I've jacked the car up and spun the rear axle by hand, but I don't see anything anywhere close to hitting the rotor or axle, nor do I see any scratches from intermittent contact. The car has had FRPP lowering springs, Spohn adjustable lower control arms and panrod, and a Steeda rear sway bar on for about three months now with about 5000 miles it. The noise just started about two weeks ago, any ideas?

Oh, man. My wife's GT has the same stupid noise. Luckily mine is not doing it yet. Her's has 6,100 miles. I hope someone comes up with the solution....

You need to lube the bushings with SILICONE lubricant. When you put the sway bar in did you lube the swaybar to frame bushings??? What about the panhard rod bushings? Grease em up and your squeak issues will go away.

PS: Silicone lubricant is what youd use when doing a brake job, Syl-glide is a brand name. Make sure its in a tub or out of a tube, spray stuff wont work (for long anyway).
