Default Rear Suspension Creaks after Rebuild

Hi all.. I rebuilt my 93 XJS suspension recently with all new bushings, shocks etc. The car rides beautifully but I have noticed the rear starts to creak. I did lubricating all new bushings when putting back together.

Any ideas what might be causing this ?

Thanks for your help and advice

JB

If you redid the radius arm small end, did you wait until the car was on its wheels before tightening them up? If not, loosen them off and retighten when weight of the car is on the wheels.
