Default Front Suspension Squeaking

Hey there all. Just had a major overhaul to my front suspension on my 997.2 C2S 2009. Changed everything from dampers to links and even mounts.
Problem is my front suspension keeps squeaking loudly (can be heard by people walking by), and happens when I got up a bump or down into a pit on the road. Had them look at it again, and they covered the coils with some rubber but didn’t do the job. I am taking the car back to them, but was wondering if someone could help with what this could be. Thanks a gazillion !

Coffin Arms need to be set to ride height when reassembling, have them double check this was done. If not this will put the bushings under stress causing a squeak and premature wear. If that doesn't fix the issue have them look at the top mounts.

Squeeks usually happen due to rubber rubbing on rubber such as would happen inside a torn control arm bushing. That or if you have after market polyurethane bushings, those need to be greased or else they can squeak as well. Greased with a compatible type of lube that won't deteriorate the bushing like a silicone or teflon based..

Lubricate the sway bar bushings.
