creeks and rattle. solutions?

i have owned my SS vert for 1 year now. Bought it with 45k miles.

Now that i have lowered my car for nearly a year (bilstein and strano), paired with BMR vert SFC and BMT STB, it has develop constant creeks and rattles. One of the biggest offender is one of the metal bar located on the driver side. I dont know what it's called, but i am sure it's a part of the top mechanism.

is there a how to in here that can guide me to tighten all the top mechanism linkages and bolts?

thanks!

Sid.

Where is this bar located?

If you raise/lower the top half way you can check some of the bolts for the top frame.

Sounds like you are saying Creeks & rattles developed after your suspension upgrades?
