My sway bar bushings dry up pretty quickly, I re-lube them every 6 months. That tends to make more of a creaking noise though.
Make sure the spring isn't loose in it's perch when the rear is unloaded, if it is then the rear shock needs to be adjusted.

how do i tighten the top mounts. is that the part under the adjuster?

Also 110lbs for sway bars, is rediculous. Thats tighter than wheels lugs, or just about anything else on the vehicle. Maybe the Axle bolt might be about that range, but I dont even think the axle is that tight.
Anyways jack up each corner so that there is no weight on the shock and shake the shock around to see if you can recreate the sound. That should help you better pinpoint where the sound is coming from.

i will try that tonight. the
sound is definitely coming from the right rear so i will try that for both.
thanks so much to everyone chiming in to help out, i really appreciate it!
