Default Suspension Noises (potential sticky or add-to?)

Here are the things that (so far) have made
suspension noises on my car:

Sway bar bushings
- creaking noise on up/down travel
- remove & lubricate (I used moly/graphite assembly
lube, lasted about 3 months and needed it again)

Sway bar end links
- creaking noise on up/down, body roll
- loosen & lubricate

Panhard rod end bushings
- light clanking noise on left-right, up-down
- Tighten the nut & bolt to get a good "crush"

Panhard rod adjustment jam-nut
- light clanking noise on left-right, from trunk area
- retighten to jam, glob on some RTV for luck

LCA bushings (forward)
- groaning on bounce after new (1LE) bushed arms
- white lithium grease shot in there

All quiet on the Eastern Front (for now).
