the links are dry! if the bar squeaks you can smear more poly lube on the bushings.

The sway bars do require periodic cleaning and regreasing of the polyurethane bushings. We definitely recommend the Energy Suspension - Formula #5 Poly lube that's included in all of our kits. Do not use a generic lithium or shop grease, it won't last nearly as long as the correct part. If you have a local Energy Suspension dealer in your area you can source the grease from them, or alternatively if you use a high quality Marine grade grease which should last quite a while.

The endlinks do not require lubrication, there is a teflon lining in all of the spherical hiem joints that will provide all the lubrication needed.

First off make sure that all the endlink hardware is in good condition and properly torqued. Secondly remove the sway bar brackets, clean out any residual grease between the bushing and the bar, and re apply the proper grease. That should take care of your issue!

Let us know if we can help you out with anything else!
