I had that problem, My lexus tech just used lots of lube and it's fine now. BTW is your problem in the front or rear? also could you describe in more detail when the squeek is happening.

mrgs400 reported to us that speaking sways may indicate a broken link. the sways are held down by these little links or braces or whatever. but the sways are a lot stiffer than the stock ones so are prone to breaking the links, releasing one end and also causing the squeak.

or you just might need oil!
