Default BuddyClub n+ squeak in rear..but....

hey guys, ive extensively searched for this problem but cant seem to find a solution to my problem, so forgive if it sounds like a repeated question.

I'll make this sound as easy as possible.

Bought semi-used buddyclub n+ suspension for my dc2 recently
installed the suspension at my boys shop
noticed i had a squeak coming from my rear on the driver side
i ended up replacing the trailing arm bushing and others.
squeak still there
then i swapped the rears from left to right (driver to passenger)
now the squeak obviously is on the passenger (right) side
i emailed buddyclub, got a number, and called
they said check the preload. (sorry that i dont kno how to check)
or check top hat (which i already tried tightening, no luck)
he said shock is bad only if its leaking which mines not.

so help please, what should i check, thanx. i hope i took out a lot of possibilties because i did end up changing bushings, and werent it.

I'm not sure what it is..could be the top hat, check the bushing or throw some grease on it.

To check the pre load it's the perch right under the spring. That's only suppose to be like hand tight I believe. I'm unsure how you're suppose to check it but I guess you could measure the height of both rear springs and make sure they are the same
