Rear-End Squeak - Steeda Anti-Sway Bar

[RFC1992]

My ST squeaks like crazy over bumps. The dealer says it is the Steeda sway bar that is causing it. What is the best lube to use to eliminate this noise?

Did they load it up with grease during the install?

 

[RFC1992]

I loaded it up with grease during the install. I installed in MAY; when colder weather arrived (SEP), the squeaks started.

My plan is to drop the bar and re-grease... with what is the question... that you answered!

Gotcha. I'll be curious to see what happens with mine. Odd thing is, one line of thinking is don't grease it at all, and greasing makes it worse. But I don't know enough about the material to argue either way.

I keep a small tub of Energy Suspension silicone grease in the garage. There’s nothing better and you can get it at O’Reilly

You always grease urethane bushings.

That's one I read about today.

Yes, any squeak is traditionally caused by lack of grease. Depending on your climate, it may need to be greased more than other climates.

Super Lube Multi-Purpose Synthetic Grease w/ Syncolon. My go to grease for bushings.

 

[RFC1992]

Issue Resolved. I finally uninstalled the Steeda bar, cleaned it, cleaned the bushings, and then put entirely too much silicone grease on each bushing and the bar. I was certain to grease the stop ring near the bushing as well. My truck is blissfully quiet now.

Thanks to all.
