I finally got around to installing my front sway bar about 2 weeks ago and everything went smooth. Fast forward to day before yesterday and I have developed a nasty squeak from the sway bar. Its almost constant when I'm driving and its driving me crazy.
Where should these things be lubed to quiet them down...and what kind of lube? I did a search and didn't find anyone who had the same problem but "squeak" brings up a lot of threads, so I may have missed something. On a better note, during an oil change today I found out that 3 out of my 4 header stubs were loose and one was completely missing a nut! I was getting a lot of popping and rough running lately and now I know why...4 hours later, much better (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

If they are the stock rubber bushing you might mot want to use grease, some rubbers swell up and get soft from prolonged contact with greases and oils.
Talcom powder on the rubber bushing works for awhile but you need to clean the bushings and get the talcom inside between the bushings and bar. I used to get a Teflon grease that worked well on plastic bushings, may still have some. Jim |
