When i traded in my civic si i actually had horrible "creaking" problems with the progress rear sway.

On my tsx and civic si it was lack of lithium.... however when i inspected the Fg2's it was properly lubricated and i noticed it (in combo with lowering ) that the endlink condition had deteriorated.

It was on my "list of things to replace" if i had kept the car

however... it was traded in before i could order/replace those.

your supposed to upgrade the endlinks when you upgrade the sway

progress should also have a set of both the sway and the endlinks available
endlink are pretty pricey too

im sorry but new endlinks dont do sh*t. i had hotchkis endlinks (beefiest endlinks u can get) on mine when it tore through the subframe at the race track... the problem is the weak spot where u mount your endlinks to the frame... it needs to be reinforced.
