I just had a Dinan 19 mm sway bar installed in my MSCc last week. All was well for the first week. However, yesterday, after a lightly spirited run with rivercity minis to Cooper Vineyards (yep, that's its name) in central VA, I noticed a rather pronounced squeak coming mostly from the right rear area.

The squeak now occurs during every turn, over every bump or undulation in the pavement. It is very annoying and pretty loud. Unfortunately for me, I paid a few extra $$ for the Dinan because of its rubber bushings that supposedly reduce the likelihood of sway bar squeak.

Is this sway bar squeak or something else?

 

same issue here...9.5k miles only but lowered tho...I've got M7 springs

 

Yes, a sway bar squeak is a definite possibility. Pull off the rear wheels and undo the sway bar clamp. On my R-speed sway bar, the bushing is split so it can be pulled up to put grease on the bar. I also used a syringe to try and get the grease on the underside of the fitting. Some people use a lithium type grease, but I had a very heavy silicone grease and that worked well. A couple bounces on the back end and the squeak was gone!

 

its ur rear swaybar... add some more lithium grease on the bushings and ur good to go.

 

My H-Sport squeks but not from the bushings. It squeeks because the mounts rub on the excess metal from the rear pan. I need to dremel some material soon

 

I have a similar issue - very slight squeaking from the rear, especially when going slow (<5mph) over rough ground (like pulling into my driveway).

It's stock suspension (Cooper S), and only has 4500 miles on it. Is it just a matter of regreasing?

I've scheduled some shop time at my local dealership in about 4 weeks - I'm guessing they can just take care of it for me then?

 

I have the same problem too, changed to a new bushing and put grease but the problem comes back again after 2month. Im using h-sport 25mm bar and I think i need to sell this off. The bar is too big and it hits the body. anyone facing the same prob?

 

You got to lube that rod up before you go sticking it in there :D

Re grease it.
