Hey all, just had my Alta 19mm rear sway bar installed a week or so ago, and it is squeaking fairly loudly over dips in the road, etc. I expected this to happen eventually but not right away. Is it likely the shop didn't grease something properly, or tighten the end links enough? They have made a few other mistakes with my tires, etc, so it wouldn't surprise me. I have to stop in there tomorrow morning to make sure another issue was fixed properly, so I'd like to know what I should suggest regarding the sway bar while I'm there.

Thanks!

 

It comes with grease in small packets that is supposed to be put on the rubber bushings before they are put on. Mine are obviously greased 8 months later. You can see it. Good news is there are zerk fittings to grease them, so a grease gun will fix this.

 

The Alta bar does not have zerk fittings and you will need to drop the subframe if you need to grease the poly bushings.

 

It most often does not go away by itself with time so I would check the end links first as that is the easiest to tighten.

Otherwise, you have to grease the poly bushings.

 

Thanks for the info guys! I had it in the shop today and they confirmed it is greased up well. Upon closer inspection the squeaking is actually coming from the front passenger side and not the rear... the mystery continues.
