Squeeking suspension

My rear right suspension squeeks on hard turns, or bumps. Im'm not sure what it is because I checked torque settings on all the strut nuts & bolts, and they all were right. Heres my setup, I have KYB AGX adjustable struts and eibach prokit springs. I also have energy suspension polyurethane bushings. My bro installed the bushings, and I installed the shocks/struts and springs. Is this something not to worry about, or do I just need to grease something?

could just be the spring moving ever so slightly against the seat during the maneuvering...

probably not even visible wear- it'll only take a couple thousanths of an inch of movement to produce an audible squeak if conditions are right. hmmm, if I had this prob, and I could track it down, I'd probably just wrap the spring contact surface with teflon tape, or maybe some graphite-base grease, something easy...

WD-40 maybe to help locate the problem, but that stuff's way too thin to use it for a permanent fix...
