Squeaky Suspension

Squeaky Suspension
So heres the deal. Ive had my KYB AGX / Progess setup for about two years now and no problems at all. Until recently, past month or so, a squeak has developed in the front drivers side. It sounds kinda like mice.
I installed them myself and when I was trying to remove the "insulator" sleeves off the stock springs, they got destroyed so I installed my new springs without them. I had heard that this might cause squeaking, but I hasnt for two years.
I have double and tripple checked all the bolts and all of them are torqued properly.
Just wondering if theres anything I should look for or check again. I dont really wanna have to remove the whole strut/spring unit, dissassemble it again and install an "insulator" or whatever, but if it comes down to that I guess I'll have to do it.
Your imput is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Possibly worn balljoints or sway bar endlinks. I don't suspect anything else. I had the same "mice-like" squeaking. Unfortunately, I changed out my lower control arms (which came with balljoints) & the endlinks. My noise disappeared.
