Default Creaking in the suspension?

Ever since I lowered my mustang with the Eibach Sportline springs and added Tokico shocks and struts, there has been a really annoying creaking everytime I brake and everytime I turn the wheel. I'm thinking it might be the A-arm. Has anybody had this problem? How is it fixed and how much does it cost to fix? Thanks.

Did you put new bushing in? Make sure everything is greased? Besides that Im not sure. Sorry.

What was the condition of the stock parts you removed (any damage to underside/steering noticeable before the work was done)?
What condition were the spring isolators in? Did you re-use, remove, or replace the the stock isolators?
Did you replace the top shock mount? Is there any indication that it may not be tight?
What condition were the swaybar endlinks in? Did you check the eurathane endlinks after lowering the car?
The A-arms shouldn't be 'creaking' ... unless there was something wrong with them ... check around under there & find out if/where you've got something rubbing.
