Lower control arms making noise

[OG-Unleashed]

so i put a brand new suspension on and after going off roading once, the lower control arms are making a squeaking noise......why the hell would it be doing that?! and yes i greased them when installing it

over tighten those bolts? The control arms have a tendency to "squeeze" in when over torqued on those which puts more pressure on the bushings.

even if they are tightened too much, should the joint still play freely?

possible lower ball joint?? mine the first time was a balljoint. 2nd tie rod, 3rd loose swaybar

They shouldn't have any significant lateral play... something doesn't sound right (no pun intended)

what lift kit did you go with?

adjustable track bar? maybe its not adjusted properly and pulling the axle over to the side too much...
