You shouldn’t have any noise at all. If the bar to chassis bushings are lubed, they won’t make any squeaking or chattering noises. Same for the bushings used for the stock endlinks. 
However, if you are running the HD endlinks, we did have some upper joints that can cause some noise issues. If that’s the case, please email me a photo of the upper joints you have and I’d be happy to help you out.
