Had a performance shop install my AFE rear sway bar and Eibach lowering springs. Ended up with this creak.

Sound only occurs while driving when the cars pitch changes when coming to a stop or accelerating. Was driving in the rain last week and the sound completely went away untill the next day- leads me to believe something is ungreased but thought I'd get some other opinions.
Video explains the sound I'm hearing.

Ouch .. are you referring to the clicking sound or the rubbing sound?

I would check with the shop to find out if they greased the sway bar.

Look at the swaybar bushings. Grease should be visible in, on and around the bushings.
