Whiteline LCA Creaking

After going through this several times with various shops and dealershipswho have found nothing wrong, I conceded to the idea that the creaking from the rear pass side was due to the ol' sway end link, but I'm being told that it is my Whiteline LCA. My dealership troubleshot the squeak down to this part after degreasing and torquing everything down to spec (and under load where needed). I'm pretty bummed about this.

I'm tempted to replace the end links anyway, but if it's really the WL piece, what's my best course of action? Just replace that sucker? It seams that the science of locating creaks and squeaks isn't really a science after all.

I get a similar creak but only under certain circumstances. I have to be backing out of my driveway and turning the wheel, or going over a speed bump slowly in the cold. Whatever it is I don't bother to worry, I know Whiteline says that their product shouldn't increase NVH with increasing stiffness, I find that hard to believe.

I would try contacting whiteline. They have a lifetime warranty on the bushings. I had a similar issue with my steeda billet lca. They sent me a new bushing and it is completely quiet now. I've heard nothing but good things about whiteline and their service.
