Default rear end squeak and grind/cracking noise

looking for some input to what i may be looking for. last month i was being an idiot and slapped my s2k into a curb after a party doing some drifting with an old shitty set of tires. I replaced the upper and lower a-arm on the rear right. i drove the car for about 500 miles no problem and now i have a squeaking that is becoming progressively worse. Im thinking it could be my cv joint or the bearing off the transfer case. dont want to start throwing money at it until i know the problem. So im looking for advise of ways i can find this squeak or what you may think the problem is. Ive had the car in the air with the car in first gear and no squeak. If anyone has an idea let me know and it would be greatly appreciated. thanks

what conditions does it squeak under and when is it louder/softer? say if you were to take a hard turn, would left make it louder or right? and would it get progressively louder or just at a certain point it would make a noise

if you can bring your car to the friday night meets, i'm sure someone can have a ride with you in the car and pinpoint the cause of the noise.

that's because it was never bolted down tighter after putting the springs in...
