Just wondering what do you guys do when your swaybars start squeaking? I'm sick of having to lubrictate it almost every month.

Along with using nice heavy grease, wrap some plumbers teflon tape around the bar also... That should keep it quieter for a lot longer. Good luck.

White lithium grease or marine-grade grease.

I used marine grade grease and teflon tape about 2 months ago, with no problems since...

Did you buy it used?? cause they say that if you are using a used one that you should buy new bushings for it ..... 18mm

Urethane bushings are squeaky by nature, they're much harder than oem rubber. But as suggested a good quality marine grease and teflon tape will help.

no I didn't buy it used. But I bought them a year ago. I heard there's a new design bushing now is that true?
