Question No grease included with my Comptech Sways???????

I ordered my Comptech Sway Bars from this site and received them recently. They came with a white tape but did not come with any grease of any type. I read about the install on this site and it seems most of you got grease along with the tape. I do not want my sway bars squeeking. What do you suggest???????? Also, do I put the tape on both front and rear bars around the bar underneath the bushing or just on the rear one??????? I ask because the instructions only mention it to be used on the rear bar. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

I thank you in advance for any helpful suggestions you may have.

Same here, I get the sway bars with only teflon tape. I used for the 4 bushings... Use it a lot of it and no squeaks...

The teflon tape is the grease. According to Mike B @ Comptech, the teflon tape actually works better than the grease they used to supplied. So you got everything you were supposed to get.

My bars also just came with tape and Comptech told me the same thing - no loonger recommend grease.

For those that like it, try Syl-Glide available from Napa, or a marine-antiseize which I have found to be tenaciously resistant to eash out.
