creeky rear springs/sway bar

[little blackie]

I installed the steeda springs and rear sway bar and now I have an embarrassing creek going on from the rear when I roll over the slightest bump. I can't tell if its the sway bar or rear springs. Anyone else have this and or possible solutions?
Thanks in advance

Not enough grease on the swaybar bushings.

It's the bar. As far as "not enough", we have plenty on ours and have dropped the bar multiple times to goop more in there. Stays quiet for about 3 weeks.

That's a different sound than our RSB bushings.

We complained to Steeda and they sent us more bushings, which were exactly like the bushings on there. We even used the silicone lube they recommended. Just Google "Steeda sway bar squeak", it's nothing new. Every Steeda swaybar across every platform makes noise. I cut some plastic out of oil jugs and will give that a shot next, if that doesn't work we'll put the stock bar back on.

My Steeda rear bar doesn’t make a sound. Neither does my AFe front bar.

Congrats.

Congrats.

You said every Steeda swaybar makes noise…just pointing out that is a factually false statement.

My Steeda rear bar is silent as well…

I must be driving a one in a million, it just ain't so.

I’m getting it too and a really annoying rattle too. I haven’t installed my H & R Springs yet. If I push down on the rear bumper it’s more like a squeak.

Have you tried Clocking your suspension bushings?

No, I haven’t. I had the dealer install the sway bar when it was in for warranty work. When I got it back it was really noisy. The rattle is worse than the squeals and squeaks.

So is mine. Still sitting in the basement. I think it may be a prototype test bar. Purchased slightly used from Steeda on Ebay several years ago.

Only the right rear had some squeaking when pulling into and out of the driveway, and now, it is heard more often. I reached out and read several threads. I had my son shake the vehicle as I was underneath. I can feel the creaking of the springs. To the best I can see, it's set in the top bushing/cap or whatever that is.

My steeda on my f150 came with that super slick sticky stuff
I have never heard it squeak.
If the dealer put them on....
I would as suggested, look at every place the new stuff touches to mske sure springs are set in correct and not any loose hardware

I've had my Steeda bar on for about 2 years and it doesn't squeak. That'd drive me crazy for sure.
