Squeaking after suspension install

Hey all,

I just wanted to ask if anyone has had this issue come up. Its a weird squeaking sound when I am driving. If I barely have my foot on the pedal I can hear it, but if I totally let off of the throttle, it goes away. I am thinking it MIGHT be the endlinks needing grease or maybe a bushing. Its THAT kind of squeak noise. I think it might also be the AC line since I lowered the car pretty low. Car has already been racing aligned and corner balanced.


Background: I installed KW variant 3's, new end links, new rear LOWER control arms, and a new 25.5 hollow RSB. I greased the swaybar, but nothing else. Did I miss something?
