Help solving squeek

Ok i installed my BMR LCA along with the relocation bracket. Have had them on for about 750 miles. AT first everything was great. After 500 miles i regreased them with the more pumps of the silcon grease they call for. Still everything was great. Went away for a two days came home to drive it and now I have a squeek coming from the drivers side rear end somewhere.Tried greasing them again, still squeeks. Not 100% sure its the LCA but is y assumption. If I push up and down on the rear of the car you can hear it. It is quit loud. Help please. If it doesnt go away i might have to reinstall the originals because I cant take this noise.

Locate the squeak and go from there. Have someone under the car while someone pushes it up and down to pinpoint the culprit. Probably just a bolt that needs tightening.

I just solved a squeak in the rear that I had no clue where it was coming from. I had my whole suspension replaced with D specs, billet lower LCA's, adjustable UCA, Vogtland lowering springs, but it was there before these changes.
I opened up the trunk lid and spayed a little WD-40 on all of the mounting joints for the trunk lid plus the hydraulic units and it went away immediately. It was definitely loud especially when hitting bumps on the highway, etc. but this cured it!

Thanks for the help. I found the little bastard. It was the sway bar on the drivers side where it goes through the bushing. A little squirt of silcone lubricant and it went away. Thank god that was it. I didnt want to remove my LCA but I would of if that was the only way to get rid of that squeek.
