Koni Squeaks?

Hey, I looked around but haven't found anything on this. I have had Koni's and H&R's for about 3 months now, and the rear continually squeak. I pulled the lower arm bold and lubed the lower mount bushings with never seize and various othger silicone greases, still they sqeak. Just seeing if anyone has had this problem, next weekend I am going to pull them off, soak the bushings overnight in marine grease, and drill a zerk grease fitting into the bushing (and rout out an annulus with a dremel). If they still sqeak after that maybe I'll put the factory rubber bushings in the konis. Thanks for any input.

It's probably not your shocks. It's either your springs or your breaks or something.

Do you have a camber kit, If yes that maybe the cause of your squeaks.

no camber kit, but I just realized it could be the spring sqeaking inside the plastic sleeve it sits inside at the perch (*anti-noise devices*), maybe I'll try and check that out this weekend.
