My car is making a squeaking sound from the pass rear on the car, I really started to notice this after I had sfc's installed. Any idea what could be causing this......?

Tons. Torque spec is 80 ft-lbs. From my experience, when I get a new squeak or rattle from the rear of the car, I always check (in order):

• Lug nuts - 100lbs
• LCA bolts - 80lbs
• Panhard bar bolts - Not sure off the top of my head, but I think it's 55lbs on the nuts and 74lbs on the bolts
• Spring isolators - Make sure they're seated
• Swaybar endlink/U-bolts - 18lbs
• Torque arm bolts (I have a Moser 12-bolt, so I'm always paranoid that these will back out) - I forget the torque spec off the top of my head
• Brakes - Bracket bolts are 74lbs, slider pin bolts are 24lbs, I think

There's not much more to it, really. Another thing that's important to remember, especially if you have poly or rod-ended components, is to make sure you've got everything lubricated. I had a squeak like an old mattress that was driving me crazy and it turned out I just needed a little grease on the poly end of my LCAs.
