Well I finally found out what was causing the squeak.
Here it is; 5 months old and about 3,500 miles, it sure didn't last long.
I had the spring shop take a look at the car, I was convinced that it was coming from the spring but he told me it was the LCA.
I had him put my factory’s back on and he took off the relocation brackets which I didn’t want him to do.
But now it rights better then ever, it is a little softer in the rear end but most of the clunk is gone.
I am guessing that bushing was dead from the start.

Damn I get a squeak from mine too when I hit bumps...Ive regreased a few times with no luck, maybe I should pull the LCA to see if I've destroyed a bushing as well. My car sounds like an old blazer when I hit bumps on the highway[:@]

It is probably a dead Piggy.
I have been complaining about a clunky rear end that I was sure was the factory design.
The clunk is 75% gone now that the factory LCAs are back on.
It is not silent, but it is way quieter.
Check your bushingI bet it is cracked.

Ya it was a squeak like you would think a squeaking spring sounds like.
It mostly did it slower speeds, less the 30MPH.
Does it sound like it is coming from one side or just from somewhere in the rear?
For me I could tell it was from the drivers side.

sounds like its coming from the passenger rear...it does it at higher speeds for me though. Lower speeds, if i hit harder bumps then I can hear it. At the same time though My passenger side over axle and mufflers are loose and making some noises/rattle. I'm not sure if the squeak is related. I'm tired of looking for it, i'm letting a shop check it out on a lift and fix the exhaust. I'll pull the control arm if the sound doesn't go away. It does sound like a squeaking spring though[:@]

What kind of dog**** product is that? Fails after not even 5 months of driving?

God I hope the Steeda LCA I have in my closet are better than that.

My bet it is a cracked bushing then; that is how mine sounded.

I get a little squeek as well. Already had the bushings replaced once (2nd day they went bad) because BMR had sent out some adj LCAs with bad bushings, which they sent me new bushings for free. I'll check mine out and see if the bushings are shot again.
