Default CREAK!

okay fellas getting a creaking noise from passenger rear... happens every complete stop and right when i go....it is not a strut or spring problem... i just installed buddy club n+ thought it would get rid of it thinking it was a bad strut and it wasnt.... it also has a new axles and new spindles along with new bearings and axle nuts properly torqued myself to 240 lbs. its a creak like walking on old wood floors slowly.... i went up to autozone and got some chassis grease starting to think a bushing or joint is dry and rubbing? any advice im going to come home early to take care of my baby cant take her like this... guna grease up the upper control arm? any other advice what to grease? tighten? check thanks guys

Try loosening your rear end links, pre-load your suspension, then tighten them to their specific torques. Worked for me!

I have a squeak and tracked it to the spring perches. The rubber has brittled away and it causes the creak when going over bumps. Maybe it's your N+Specs settling since they are new?

I think it has something to do with your suspension, when I first got my KW it was doing the same thing, once I change the high/preload it stop right away. Also if that creek is at every revolution the wheels spin at, it's your hub/bearing.

It's not the coilovers because it did this on my stock struts with aftermarket springs. And it's not the axle I just got new ones and torqued properly Also
With axle spacers. I'm
Starting to think it's something that needs to be greased or tightened? Any helps guys would be great! It's not a bad hub only creaks when the momentum of stop and go i's used not a driveline issue

Do the rear end links mess with alignment at all?
