Default lots of strange noises coming from rear suspension??

first off i have spl midlinks with swift springs, spl camber arms, and megan shocks (part of the megan coilovers which i am getting rid of eventually). theres what seems to be rattle sound that seems to be reverberating inside the wheel well. plus theres a lot of sweaking no matter what condition the surface of the road is that i think is the springs but they have only been on the car for like 3 months. i have tried lubricating the all the spherical joints but that didnt seem to work. whats strange is that when it rained for a week straight ( i live in orlando, fl) there wasnt a single noise from my suspension. but when its a normal dry day all those sounds are present and accounted for. any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have similar issues with my rear setup as well, except it's only on the rear passenger side. With my ride, it seems to be loudest when it's cold, and when it's warm the squeaking is not as loud. I know how you feel because it gets really annoying. I know eventually I will go with a complete tokico d spec shocks and spring combo anyways.

yea its just really annoying. it started about a week after i installed the midlinks and and new springs. which is what baffles me. brand new parts and the squeak like mad crazy?? doesnt make any sense to me. im thinking that maybe the shocks are crap (which the are in general) and they are placing to much load on the springs?

maybe you should take the car back to the installer and make sure they installed everything properly, and with the proper lubrication.
