I recently installed bmr springs and everysince then the front end squeaks all the time over bumps. i put sensa tracs on the front, and i went back over everything again and everything is tight....could this squeaking be because of the sensa tracs? or the springs?? any ideas guys??

I think its your sway bar usually is

Unbolt your front sway bar brackets take off,they are the 2 that support the sway bar to chassis.If original stock bushings.And you dont want to buy any new ones for some reason. Do your best to peel the bushings off the bar.Clean the bar where the bushings came off,clean the inside of bushing.And then apply a thin layer of silicone grease to the inside of bushing and a little on the bar where they go and put it all back together. Those things squeak when dry. The lowering no doubt unsettled them.
Or you could just order some new bushings and end links some energy suspension or something Thunder racing has them.

btw.Doit w/ the tires on the ground not jacked up.If you need more clearance to work.I jack it up and place 2- 2x12 blocks under the tires and let it down on them (both sides) and have enough room to work.
