Default Suspension squeek, possibly rear lca

So I just threw on some Tein Basics and Skunk 2 rear LCA's like 4 weeks ago now whenever it gets really hot/humid outside they will squeak whenever the car moves. Now if it is cooler outside they don't make any noise at all. Any clue what might be causing it, and how would I go about fixing it?

And yes I searched but nothing that came up seemed relevant.

Grease all your bushings, notably your swaybar bushings.

also make sure your sway bar endlinks don't have ripped boots and if they do spary them with some lubricant.

Spray on White Lithium Grease should work, or you could use something heavier like Silicone Grease or Bearing Grease.

i highly doubt it's ur basics. but what i would do is drive it till it's hot and squeaks again. spray on where u think is squeaking and drive it and see if it goes away.

atleast that way you can tell what is making the noises.

i get squeaks all the time from my endlinks. going to replace them with dezod.
