2002 Lancer LS shock absorber; help
So I replaced the shock absorbers(the rear) on my 2002 Lancer LS.
Before I replaced the shock, it never had any noise.
Now that the new ones are in, it has a horrible creaking sound.
(Shocks on the rear were replaced due to an observed leak around it)
The bushings on the upper mount looked okay. Wasn't cracked or brittle.
I followed the service manual torque specs.
Noise occurs when you even just touch the car, it creaks. or even just leaning on it. Especially when driving on the road just little bumps will make it creak so loud.
I need help please. Its a problem that I can't seem to solve.

I'm sure that it is coming from the rear. I sprayed every bushing that I saw with silicone spray and it still does it.
I have read about a TSB about the rear lower control arm going bad. I'm going to inspect mine to see if the noise is coming from there.
