Default squeaky qa1's?`

tried this in the suspension forum and no luck...figured qa1's were more drag oriented and someone might know something over here.

okay here is this problem I have been having recently, I did the hose mod and thought it was that but put the stock spring isolators back on and it still squeaks like all hell.

so to try and figure it out I set the springs to full soft or "1" on both sides and NO squeaking at all.

set them both to "5" and they squeak like hell. the driver side squeaks more/louder than the passenger side.

any ideas, the qa1's have 5k miles on them.

It could be the lca's or the panhard also. I have QA1's in my TA drives side at 5 and Pass. at 6 with the hose mod on the stock springs and no noise other than the typical squeaks and creaks.

rod ended LCA's and PHB, no squeaks from them that I can tell when I put my head under there.

Take some wd40 and give each end on the lca's, panhard, and the shock were it mounts to the rear and see what happens.

I thought it was a bad idea to grease rod ended suspension? I'll do the shocks though.
