Default squeeking after lca install

installed some lakewood lcas, love them, but now after it rained outside im getting a lot of squeeking from them when i hit bumps and stuff. i didnt greece the outside of the lcas where it mounts to the body, could this cause it? i thought it was just to help install it. also could the bolts be too tight?

i retightened the lca to see if i just didnt preload it, still making noise. the pass side doesnt do anything, is it possible with the addition of the lca that something else like the panhard bar bushings are shot now?

The poly bushings are the usual suspect. Try getting some grease into the fittings and between the bushings and the mounts. Don't over tighten. The tighter you crank the bolts, the more they'll squeak.
