Torque Solutions propeller shaft bushing squeak

I just installed the torque solutions drive shaft bushings & now I have a squeak I was wondering if anyone else ran into this problem?

Everything has been installed correctly. The donut part of the bushings went on top against the chassis, the Abe Lincoln hats came from the bottom. I didn't reuse the one washers & everything is tight. I also reinstalled the small heatshield tightly & it doesn't rub, although the sound I am getting sounds like a metal rubbing together.

I mainly hear it when I take off in first from a stop uphill & when my rear suspension goes over bumps. I'm 90% sure I've centralized the sound to the center drive shaft around the bushing area.

Has anyone else encountered this? Thanks

You are bound to hear more sounds and feel more vibration when installing stiffer bushings. If you've installed it correctly then you need not worry. Just get used to the new sounds.

I have the Torque Solutions driveshaft support bushings. They do transmit more drivetrain noise, but not a squeak like you are saying you have. It sounds like you have a heatshield rubbing somewhere.

The extra drivetrain noise & the slight hum at 3k I'm completely fine with, it just the squeak sounds pretty bad. It definitely sounds like that but everything looks good & remains untouched except that little one. The only things i changed were the bushings.
