Advice on squeaky right rear after Bilstein install

Need you guys who've been throughout this fire to help please.
My 07 sr5 2wd was silent until recent install of Bilstein 5100s front and rear.
Now have a persistent squeak right rear mainly when going over uneven pavement where the passenger side flexes more or different vs. drivers side.
I can easily reproduce the squeak in my own driveway on an uneven drop where that wheel drops off a couple inches before the drivers side. Merely flexing the rear up and down does not squeak. Driving say 30 mph down a 2 lane full of "moguls" sets it into chatter/creaky mode.

How to find? Should I remove sway bar? Lithium grease spray?

Thanks

You replace your springs as well or just the shocks?


I would suspect swaybar bushings. You could try greasing or just replacing the bushings (>$20 for both sides)
 
I just did front and rear 5100 series, no bushings or springs.
I'll get under there today and unbolt the swaybar.
I see others here reco Prothane bushings... is that the good part brand? Lithium grease? Or spray?
