Default Squeaking !!

I recently put Hotchkis springs and adjustable Panhard rod, slp bilsteins, and Bfg G force tires on chrome 10 spoke ss wheels.

Everything is great except a squeaking that wont go away. The car sounds like its about to fall apart. Its coming from the rear of the car. Ive double checked everything and greased the bushings on the panhard and it still squeaks. Any suggestions???

Place the rear axle on jackstands (put stands under the frame for safety, but don't set the car on them) and loosen your panhard rod bolts, set the car down and bounce it a few times (to reset the bushings) and then jack it up, set the axle on jackstands (keep the weight on it) and tighten the panhard rod. I suspect that your axle was hanging when the bushings were tightened and they are squeaking. I had a control arm do this after getting in a hurry and tightening it with the suspension in the air (no weight on the rear axle), I didn't care because I was changing my LCA's in another day or so, but it made an irritating squeaking sound for those days....good luck!
