Sway bar noise

Anyone with the comptech rear sway bar notice any suspension noise when driving over speed bumps. I have had the bar on for a few months and just the other week I noticed some squeaks. Yesterday I put the car up in the air, took off the sway bar and put grease over all parts of it...that seems to have done the trick. Wondering if anyone else has noticed any noise coming from the rear with the comptech bar on.

ita normal occurance. i sometimes the lithium greese just rubs off and plus since its a new bar it wasnt properly lubricated.

I had sway on my prelude and i use to relube them after each winter since salt and snow... washed away most of the greese.... it didnt start squeaking... but i just made sure it had enough.

Another trick you can do is put white teflon tape on it where the pushing comes in contact with the bar and then lube the tape it will hels keep the greese in the right spot.

It was installed properly...all the bolts were tight. I think it was just with the mounts needed to be greased, as they seemed dry, well as dry as they could be I guess.

I greased during original install the rubber grommets between the bar and the grommets between the bracket and have had no squeks at all... The instructions did not say to do that, but I was thinking, rubber on metal = squeaks later on... Ergo... Greased'em.
