Squeaking Suspension

Hey guys, I have noticed lately that my suspension has been squeaking. I read past threads and some say its due to the cold and other say its the sway bar bushing. I did just recently install a Whiteline RSB, so I am thinking this may be the culprit(it just needs to be re-greased), but I was wondering what are other possibilities and are any of them serious?

when i bought my 2008 se the right rear squeaks going over speed bums at low speeds. just today i went to the dealership and they said its most likely the bushing, so hopefully its nothing serious. just try greasing that up and if its still does that, then go somewhere to get it checked out. good luck!

how many miles randy?
the bushings for the RSB could be bad if you didnt replace them with new ones....id try those first since theyre the easiest and cheapest fix

my car squeaks a bit over bumps when its cold, and there is absolutly nothing wrong with it...i just turn the radio up

Corey,

I didn't replace anything on the bar. I just installed and went The first time i heard the squeaking is after rain.
I would turn up the radio but I will still know the sound is there lol
What type of grease should i use? White lithium grease? and what parts do i exactly need to lube? do i need to take the bolts off again to do so?

^ white lithium grease is ok i believe. personally, i use mobil 1 synthetic grease. you should take off the bushings and grease the inside of them. you'll have to take the brackets off, but you can leave the sway bar attached at the end links if you have room to manuever.
