Update: I took the spring out and used 220 grit sandpaper to smooth the cut surface and round any sharp edges. Then I applied a small amount of WD-40 to the ends of the spring and the pieces it rests against. So far it's back to being quiet.

happy to hear you have reduced the squeak.
I haven't heard many complaints about this, maybe the sliding piece that is inside the spring is low on the white grease auto manufacturers love to use. (anyone will know what I am talking about if they installed the spring)
