Squeeking in rear end

[Eastcoast SHO]

after i did my rear shocks, no more rattling and knocking it is so nice, but i have some squeeking, i did put on used springs which were in excellent shape, and i thought maybe they needed to adjust a little but it has been quite some time. the only other thing i replaced were the endlinks, would these cause the squeeking if not tight enough?

Could be, especially depending on the material used for the end link bushings - I've read that polyurethane tends to squeak if not lubed. (I used TPR bushings on mine so I have no direct experience with that) It might also be the strut mounts - did you replace those when you did the struts?

Also could be sway bar bushings. They tend to squeak when they get worn.

Even if greased?

Unfortunately, yes. The grease seems to migrate out of them fairly quickly. so at best it is only a temporary fix. I have done it a few times, but eventually get tired of it and replace the bushings, but I also work the suspension a lot harder than average, I suspect, as I do the back mountain roads a bit quickly.
