Sqeaky rear springs [Archive]

I installed a set of king superlows to my EG. Looks and handles great (with my upgraded shocks).

The thing is, the rear spring make a slight squeaky noise now when I accelerate. Or if I make a small turn (in a car park for example). The front feels fine and no sound from it.

Did I just installed worm/dead rear springs?
or is the noise coming from something else?

Cheers

Bushings perhaps? Maybe lube them up and see if it helps (worked for me)...

No Camber kit.

Which bushes? Is that the ones on the rear LCA's?

It didnt make any noise when it sat higher (+1.5").

So do i need rear trailing arm bushes or rear control arm (LCA) bushes?

Is this it? Nolathane Polyurethane Rear Trailing Arm Bush set for EG/DC? I don't remember seeing this bushing last time I was under the car.
