If you can hear it by bouncing the car sittin still then if you can get underneath it or have it on a drive on lift you should be able to "feel" it with your bare hand on the joint or the arm that is making the noise. In other words, what you feel in your hand is in sync perfectly with what you hear.

I chase these noises regularly on new "regular" cars and this method really works well believe it or not.

Its been raining and crappy for the last week and a bit. Hoping to have the car out in the next couple of days to check and see if the magic silicone spray works. I loosened off all the heim joints with the suspension relaxed, compressed it back up to ride height, aligned all the joints and tightened it all up again. I also regreased the sway bar, upper and lower control arms again while the car was in the air. We will see what happens.

Got a break in the weather and took the car over to the body shop for an evaluation this morning. Squeak is still there, but not as bad. I think I will hit the joints a few more times and see if it helps.
