clunk/thump sounds after spl bushings installed

the rear sub frame is confirmed by spl that even tho the instruction said 2 shims on the front and 0 shim in the rear for oem spec... 2 shims front and 1 shim rear is ok too and there would not b a problem..

now i have a new problem... front driver side lower rear impact bushing is creaking/squeaking when turning slow or driving slow or coming to stops.. basically when there is load to the front... im sure its the bushing and not the endlinks or sway bar bushings and all the bolts is tight... did anyone grease any of the spl bushings? it started making the sounds after a month of install and its getting louder and louder.. very noticeable..

I have put some white Lithium on mine in the past, not sure if that is correct or not though.
