Noise gone and double joint (which I suspected initially) is fine.

Rookie mistake on my part I guess. An alignment rack makes access easy with the suspension preloaded. At least it's sorted and noise free.
Goes with DIY, rookie or not. Another one is finding a bolt or screw on the floor when you complete a project and having no idea where it belongs.
