My springs still creak after 2 1/2 months!

[CtrlAltDefeat]

I installed my DFs in the middle of February and noticed the back springs (maybe just the driver side, I can't tell for sure) creaked when I got out of my car. Well I figured they were just settling, and the creaking would go away but it never did. When researching my rear sway bar install I realized that there wasn't torque specs on the shock bolts on the springs DIY and I just tightened them without much thought. I figured maybe I tightened them too tight and it was that joint creaking. Well when I installed my sway bar, I torqued the nuts to the correct spec, but it's still creaking a week or so later. I hate it, it sounds like some old POS. Any one know why it's still creaking or what I can do about it?

My Pedders springs creak abit when i get in and out of the car. Im not even heavy, lol. Must be pretty normal. I've had them on the car for about a year or so.

You sure it's not your bushings? they are now at a different angle than stock and will 'travel' more.....I usually just spray mine with silicone spray (NOT PB BLASTER) and it kills the noise for a month or two....

errr bushings? no I'm not sure... That's the inserts in the ends of the shocks that the bolts go through right? The cars only 9 moths old, why would the bushings creak?

Like previously stated spray silicone lubricant on various spots in the rear suspension until it stops. could just be something with a little bit of surface rust.

btw, when you remove a bolt from the car. lub it. If you removed it once, chances you will do it a 2nd time. so you really don't want it to seized up.
