bad squeeking!...lol....

[devil358]

Just put in my Suspension Techniques swaybars this weekend....wonderful improvement...

but the things squeeky like h*ll....lol....it's rediculas...

I lubed the bushings up...used every last bit of the grease that came with the kit (one tube for front, and one for rear)

and they squeek like crazy...it's getting on my nerves....

everything is torqued down nice and tight...not sure what to do...

I've only had them on the car for about 2 days now, so I'm kinda hoping this goes away in about a week, but I'm worried my hopes are in vain...

I wanted to post about this before I go through the trouble of taking them back off, relubing them, and reinstalling them...

looking for any ideas...

Well, don't use any spray lubes. In Most of them is a carrier chemical(it evaporates away) that dries out the rubber and such parts. Seems to me if you lubed the inside and outside of 'all' the bushings, that should be all thats needed.

I think mine squeeks a little when I come up or out the driveway. But it doesn't really bother me.
I don't get any noise on the road though.

Was your bushings a little too big to fit in the mounting bracket?
If I remember, I had a hard time with installing the mounting brackets. Not only were they real wide but too tall too. I think I ended up with a gap between the bracket mount flange and the frame.

well guys, after some thinking, I'm gonna go ahead and take them off next weekend when I have time and relube them and see if it goes away...I originally used the stuff that came with them but I might try some wheel bearing grease or something like that....some mechanics at work told me that should work out ok...I'll let you guys know if that's what the problem was....
