Default BMR sway bar noise

Does anyone have BMR sway bars installed on their 4th gen with polyurethane bushings?

I've had mine on my 2002 Firebird for several years now. Love the handling improvement, but they are really noisy. Lots of creaking and sqeaking depending on the weather conditions. I think it's caused by the end links. I've gone through several sets of end links over the years--with and without silicone grease--to try to get rid of the noise, but to no avail.

Is this problem specific to the BMR sway bars, or do other brands have the same noise?

Thanks,

Sounds like its just the bushings. It pretty normal with poly bushings especially when cold

Have you tried greasing the swaybar bushings themselves?

What type of grease are you using?

We recommend and sell a full synthetic that is very sticky and remains on the bushings for a very long time.
