Ok...so about 1.5 months ago, I had SilverBulit install the CT sways for me. Everything was great...for like 2 weeks. Then, I started hearing some fucking sounds in the rear. When I went over speed bumps, it sounded like shit was rubbing. Then gradually it got worse. If I came to a stop, then took off again, it sounded like things were loose and movin around. So just 3 days ago I went back to SilverBulit's pad and we lubed the sways and retightend them. We went for a drive to test it and everything was perfect. Now, just today as I was pullin in at home, I went over a few speed bumps and the damn rubbing sound is back?! This is so damn irritating. Is it SUPPOSED to be like this or what?!

 

u need special grease lol....... get some teflon tape and special 3M grease or some shit and it'll go away.

 

I had a loud sqeaking sound not long after my initial install, 'cause the installer didn't wrap the bars with the Teflon tape. So I wrapped them myself and had no more problems.

 

i used the stock tape and quiet as hell

 

Teflon tape wears off after a while. Don't use it. Get a can of white lithium grease from an auto parts store. It's like 3 bucks. Spray on the inside of the bushings and on the bars where the bushings go.

I've put on a lot of hard miles in harsh Michigan weather and not a noise is coming from the sway bars. The white lithium grease works.

 

Do you still need to use the grease with the rubber bushings? I thought you only had to grease the polyurothain ones.

 

i dont know if im lucky or what

but its been about 1.5 years since i installed the comptech sways and the only thing i used was a shit load of teflon tape. NO PROBLEMS

Same here & I had the SAME set of sway on 2 different CL's.

 

damn, maybe its my sways that are squeaking and not my coilovers.... but mine only comes from one side

i really hope that is the problem, i hate the squeak!!! nothing like having a 30k beater

 

***UPDATE***

So about a 1.5 weeks ago, I decided to buy some white lithium grease and do this shit myself. I finished doing it, and things were great. Now just today, the fucking noise is back. These swaybars are driving me insane. What do I do?!

 

Where exactly did you spray it? Between what parts?

 

I didn't get the spray, I got the paste shit. I took off the bushings and I poured it all inside the bushing, and after I put the bushing back on, I poured it around the bushing as well.
