Question for you guys with upgraded rear sway bars
I just installed my itr sway bar with the beaks kit last weekend. About a day after I noticed this unbearble squeek coming from my rear. I already retightened everything again yesterday, and the squeek still persist. I cant take it anymore, what do you think the problem could be? I was thinking it could possibly be my muffler touching it, but from how it sounds, it doesnt make a thump noise, its a high pitched squeek.
i had the same problem. For me, the abs brake line was hitting the sway bar. I had to bend the line a little bit and the squeek was gone.

My ABS lines have been rubbing my swaybar since I installed it a year ago, no squeeks, though. I'm using the BSQ kit.

Did you use polyurethane bushings ?
If yes, did you grease the inside before putting them on the sway bar ?

I am using energy suspension bushings, I havent tried greasing them however, maybe that will do the trick

How low are you? Whether or not the swaybar rubs the ABS lines is a direct result of ride height. If you were lowered 2" or less, your sway bar is probably NOT touching the ABS wires, at least not when the car is on the ground at rest.

Well I greased up the bushings and endlinks for the bar, and as of now there is no squeek. Im guessing there was too much friction from metal on metal so grease was the fix. Now I can drive without going crazy. Thanks guys
