Default Squeaking sound,coming from the rear

I replaced my whole suspension with a control arm kit from fcpgroton,also replaced all shocks,front and rear also had the brakes and rotors,replaced with brand spanking new ones from auto zone under 3 year warranty for the rotors and lifetime warranty for the brakes,when turning in the core parts.

I did all this about 3 weeks ago,coming up on a month,now. I've been hearing squeaking,while I'm driving in the cabin,only when the car is moving.

The squeaking sound is coming from the rear somewhere. I didn't replace bushings from the rear,everything was replaced in the front. Control arms with sway bar,the whole set.

What can this Squeaking,possible be coming from,the shock that were just installed?

My mechanic claims it could only be the rear sway bar,that is squeaking. Never heard any squeaking before i got all this done to Audina.

Could the Squeaking be coming from the front and only sounds like its coming from the rear,from within the cabin? I doubt that but who knows.

Does anything need to be lubricated,when installing control arms? bushings,perhaps? He didn't lubricate the bushings,should he have and is this what is making the squeaking noise?

When i move the car,very very slowly,just letting up on the brake,ever so slightly,so the car can move forward and i hear the squeaking.

The squeaking isn't the brakes,either. When i hit the brakes,no squeaking is heard,only when the car is rolling/moving i hear it.

The sound,doesn't sound like metal is rubbing against metal,just sounds like maybe rubber,rubbing against metal,perhaps.
