Default squeaky sway bar - why?

yesterday i installed a brand new suspension technique on my 93 civic hatch.
the handling is awsome, and i am very impressed, but when i take hard turns or hit dips in the road i hear a squeeky sound that wasn't there before?

any helpful hints are greatly appreciated.

Did you lube the inside and the outside of the bushing? collar? ALOT?

It will stiffent things up, so the other components might be squeaking more now too... just get some marine-grease (the thick sticky silicone) and go to town.

i just lubed where it bolts to the chassis. i didnt lube the end links, wasnt sure if i had to, not to mention the kit only came with a small package of grease.
