Default need help with suspension noise

this noise started right when the weather became colder. I have the L-tuned shock and springs setup with stock 16 rims. I also have the stock bushings on my setup because the L-tuned bushings did not fit correctly and maded a thump noise when driving on uneven roads.

I took it into the dealership and asked them to look at it. They 1st sprayed the under side with lube for the bushings. The next day, the noise was not as noticable but the day after it came back. The second time the dealership said they would take apart the suspension and lube the bushing with water resit stuff. But the noise was still there.

After driving the car in the morning for 15 min, the noise fades away. and when driving back from home the noise happens a bit but not like in the morning. During the summer, I had no noise what so ever. any suggestions?

If you don't have anything useful to add, please keep your silly stupid pencil out of it. I posted the question for intelligent responses, not sarcastic or moronic comments.

I have that same problem with my L-Tuned suspension. At first I thought it was a snapped sway or something. I try to ignore it, but it is annoying. If you find a fix, let me know.
