My 2 cents,
Man that's crazy, I never had any of those issues. I wonder if some kits are made differently or if they source parts differently for different lifts? Heim joints usually squeak if they are all steel and are getting rusty. I've never had a teflon heim make any noise. Heims are not expensive, you could change those quite easily.
