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) |

had the same issue after the install of my elephant front sway. it had new everything and was well lubed. happened to be metal on metal, and with a little grinding for clearance resolved the issue. check all possible locations for metal on metal contact and check for scoring.
