Rear swaybar squeaking?

Hey y'all, did a search to come up with suggestion on how to fix my rear sway bar squeaking (teflon tape the bushing, remove and re-lube, etc. etc.)


My question is however, what kind of squeak would you all describe it as? The squeak I'm getting is somewhat of a deeper "moany" (lack of better word) squeak rather than a high pitched (almost metallic) squeak...

I just want to make sure it's my sway bar.

I'm pretty sure it is cause it's the only new thing I've installed (3 weeks now).

Mine is more like a "creak" like from a door that needs some oil.

But when I go over dips at a slant or up steep drive ways I also get a "Clunk". I don't know if it's the sway bars are from the camber links

link kits
you can push-pull the bar around the bushing to see if it's the bushings,
or push-pull right at the bar's end to feel-hear if it's the link

I had teh "clunk" after mine was lowered. I put the whole rear end up on jack stands, looked, and felt around and found that my sway bar wasn't actually tight. Once I tightened all the bolts under there, it has been silent ever since.
