Default squeaky leaf springs

Just put new grab a track 4.5 standard eye and grab a track shocks in back. Very nice ride but one side started having an annoying squeak [:@]- it's alright for me to walk down the halls at work with squeaky shoesbut can't have a squeaky rear end on my ride. Any suggestions (on the car not shoes)? thanks

did you grease the bushings really well? If they are the polyurethane bushings you need a special lube that should have come with them and it needs to be put on really well.

They are rubber - I did not grease them before installing. Are you suppose to with rubber ones?

I am not a 100% sure if you need to grease the rubber ones, but i am pretty sure you should have. I cant see how it could hurt.
