Anoying Squeaks

I have annoying squeaks that just drive me nuts. They seem to appear after I installed my Moda R6s with 215-45-17. I don't know if it's a coincidence or not but I sold my OEM 16" rims and don't know if the dealer will blame the wheels. Do you guys think I should remove my rsb and front strut tower before I take it to the dealer? Do you think that sound my be the rsb? I have to check the tension on it but the squeaks seem like they are coming from the front and back struts or springs. I really don't know. Any advice?

I finally figured out where those annoying squeaks were coming from....they came from my tire jack in my trunk. It wasn't placed in tightly back into the holder. That explains why those squeaks seem to appear right after I bought my Modas since I used the tire jack to install the wheels. I am so happy that my car is squeak free now....BUT, I now have a bend in my front Moda driving over a pot-hole...UGH!!!! What bad luck. I can't believe these rims are so soft. Good thing I found a place that will repair it for $60....much cheaper than the $125 quote others were charging.
