The bushings are makig that noice. Just put a little bit of anti-seize on them,and the squeaking should go away.

Did mine two weeks ago. I used white lithium grease. Haven't had a problem since. Every once in a while when I go over a really rough patch of road i.e. railroad tracks, I will hear a groan but that's just an F-body, Corvette fact of life.

If you want the definitive explanation of why the bushings seem to be sqeaking and making noise - I recommend that you read this post by Evil-Twin....

I had the squeaks when I went over speed bumps...I lubed the sway bar bushings both front and back, still squeaked....then replaced them...didn't do any good....so I lived with the squeak for over two years.....then I replaced my F45 shocks at 60K with C6 Z51 shocks.

...........Squeak immediately disappeared

The "squik" is what's making the "noice".
