Suspension squeak after uninstalling Eibach/reinstalling stocks...

So turning the G37 back into the dealership after a lease and I uninstalled my Eibachs and replaced the stock springs. Now I'm hearing squeaking sounds coming from the front suspension. Is there something I should have greased/lubed before redoing the install? The stock springs were off for about 40,000 miles and only rode on the car for about 4,000 miles before being removed. Not sure if they would have "dried out" or anything like that while in storage. Also didn't know if the sway bar links should be greased, etc. Just wanted to know what I can do to get the noise to go away b/c it's starting to get annoying. Thanks in advance!

Possibly that you didn't seat the springs correctly on the struts?

Well, it's a mute point now. Just switched out my 2009 Lease for a 2012 Lease (18 months, 18,000 miles) and ended up getting the G37S vs. my old G37 Journey. Going to be hard to leave this car alone for 18 months...
