Squeaky swaybars - any cures?
Squeaky swaybars - any cures?
I'd comptech swaybars installed about 4/5 months ago, and it's making squeaking noises especially from rear. I don't know if it's related to the cold weather or not, but lately - it's getting louder and louder.
What is the best way for me to cure this problem?
Thanks.

Go underneath the car, look to see that they wrapped the bar with the teflon tape included with the sways. The bar needs to be wrapped where it goes through the bushing. That's the two "clamps" that hold the sway bar to the body of the car.

Would you have to remove the just the bushings to do this, or the entire sway bar. (To lube the bushings that is)

Any teflon tape will do. The roll included with my swaybars was the exact brand they sell at my local Home Depot.
As has been mentioned earlier, you don't need to remove the endlinks to get at the bushings so it's relatively quick and painless.
