Default Squeaky Suspension

I've tried searching for info on this but could not find anything exactly the same. I recentley replaced all the front end suspension bushings and completely rebuilt the steering rack. Now I didn't replace the shocks in the front so maybe that could be it, but anyways the problem is squeaks! Ever since I did it my whole car's suspension squeaks and creeks over bumbs, down drive-ways, and during regular driving if the road isn't newly paved or leveled. Anyone know what's up?

how are your balljoints? if the boots are torn, old rust, dried up balljoints will squeek.

your probably right about it being the shocks. they do tend to get noisy when they start to get worn. had the same proeblem in a couple other cars.

Well I greased all the bushings not already pressed in, which I thought those should have already been pre-greased. I used napa mulipurpose grease

My workshop manual showed some area's that needed to be greased when replaced. I replaced, with genuine honda parts, and greased all of the stabalizer bar bushings and the radius rod bushings. Other parts I replaced, that aren't honda, and didn't do anything but install are the lower ball joint, the lower control arm bushings, and the entire upper control arm (bushings and balljoint). I didn't purchase anything poly. Everything standard rubber. I think the sound is coming from the upper control arm more than anything else. Not sure though. Any ideas?
