Default Squeeky 740 Suspension

Just had new arms and bushings installed on my 2001 740i. Now there is a
creaking squeaking sound at the rear, both sides I think.

Any clues as to why or where it is likely coming from? Do I have to return
to the dealer for a fix?

Thanks

Had the same top links and bushes replaced on my E38 a while back - no
change in noise at all...

If you gave them a creak free car, you should get one back! It should
be their problem, not yours.

I have no idea of the applicability of this, but the old-fashioned cure for
creaking suspension bushes (rubber, I presume) is to spray them with brake
fluid.
