The DD 2nd gen kia sedona needed new rear springs. I redid them and put in new shocks at the same time and noticed a squeak from the rear. 

I drove around like this for a month until it got worse and I was annoyed as hell. Last weekend pulled everything apart again. No lower rubber isolaters are available so I used heater hose greased up slid over the last coil. Greased the E36 M3 out of everything, the upper rubber seat even cut out some thin plastic wrapping and wedged between the subframe and spring seat. Replaced swaybar bushings. Torqued everything with the suspension preloaded. Shot wd40 at all the bushings and everything was blissfully silent for a day. Now the squeak is back. I don't know what to do, it's driving me nuts. Please help.

Are the rear sway bar links new? I've had other cars where old links got really squeaky.
