Squeaky rear suspension?

[dvs4.6]

I have noticed that my rear end suspension is a bit squeaky, i do have H&R RaceSprings, Tokico shocks, and STeeda SB's. i checked all of the nuts and bolts and everything looks just right. i did read somewhere on this site about the rear somethings needed to be loosened and retightened when performing rear suspension work. i believe some part would pre-loading (don't quote me on that one) if not loosened then re-tightened. any help much appreciated. squeaks even on the smallest of bumps or dips.

By SB do you mean LCAs? If so these bolts on the LCAs are supposed to be tightened when the weight is on the wheels,i.e. the car is on the ground.

If your LCAs are poly bushings then this can cause squeks if they were not liberally greased with the grease that came with them.

One way to get rid of the squeks is to go to rod ends but then you get different noises

+1 on greasing the bushings, however I would add a good cleaning too. Having gone through the exact same thing myself (front end) that would be the first thing I would check. I live in El Paso, which is very dusty, so I would have to clean and re-grease all bushings about once every three months. I first made sure all the components were torqued to spec, when that did nothing I went ahead and removed the front and rear sway bars and lca's. I cleaned them (they were very dirty) and then liberally applied 100% silicone grease and the squeaks/groans were gone. I did this work myself on a base hobby shop as a lift makes things much easier. Hope this helps.

i meant to say sway bars (SB's) and i researched the site and found a thread on the loops in which the brake lines run through that may be causing the problem. i will look into this over the weekend.
