mini fulla problems
okay so before I burn my car down, maybe you guys can help me:
Yesterday I dropped my subframe, replaced the trans mount, all four ball joints, installed a milltek header and an alta r53 short shifter. (really long day) also the power flex control arm/steering bushings, and an H sport front sway bar
Before I did all this I constantly hear a squeak when I turn the wheel, when I'm not moving and on a hill. I thought changing literally everything that moved would fix the problem but it didn't. Has anyone else heard this??
ALSO
Upon reinstallation of the subframe I noticed two things, my traction control light is now stuck on and I noticed a little vibration in the steering when I turn the wheel when stopped, is this an effect of the new tighter bushings??
Anyone have any similar experiences?

It would help if you can tell us your year and model.
I'm not able to offer too much help, but if you're not moving and you have vibration in the steering wheel, I'm thinking that's a bit of NHV that has entered into the equation. I don't know if it's from the new transmission mount (being more firm) but if it is, it may go away after it softens up in two weeks. The powerflex is said to add minimal NVH.
There's still more parts involved to create a squeaky wheel (Bearing/hub, axels/CV joints, steering rack components, PSP, coloumn and wheel)
I hope someone can help with the traction control light - DSC?
