Has anyone had this problem? It seems that my rear sway bar squeaks on the passenger side. I only hear it when I hit an incline at an angle, which is every time I pull into my driveway. The bar is an 19-20-21mm from Cobb that I have on 20mm. Should I have lubed the bushings when I installed?

Thanks.

yeah lube the bushings....rear sway bars are a COMMON source of noise.

Yep my car did that after about 6 months with new end links etc.Sounded like an old screen door when iwent around a corner.
I used white lithium grease in a spray can with the tube.Lube the hell outa anything you see that mite move under there.It wont hurt anything it gets on underneath,so give em hell .lol Ido it evry 6 mo or so.

the new bushings, I assume you got new polly urethane bushings, shoul dhave come with special grease, urethane bushings use special grease, you can probably get it at any parts store

What type of grease should we look for? Lithium grease? Silicon? Whale blubber?

I used blue boat trailer wheel bearing grease when I put my FHI 18mm bar on. Hasn't made a noise since. But my roof creaks and groans when I go over bumps at an angle. . . rear strut bar cured 1/2 of it.

I used white lithium grease on the bushings and that's helped (thanks jagcars26). I got a can of it at NAPA. I have also heard that Teflon grease will work well, but I wasn't able to find any.

Now I've got to get strut tower braces.
