Rear Creak Noise

About a month ago I installed H&R Springs and Steeda Rear Sway bar.

A few days ago I started hearing a creak from the rear when accelerating from a stop when turning. It happens when turning left and right and seam to be more pronounced when on a slight incline. My inclination is its the sway bar since I can't hear it when accelerating from a stop and going straight.

Am I right in my thinking? If so, is it the bushings making the noise? Or something else? I used the whole tube that Steeda provides between the two bushing when I installed it. Is there a better lubricant to use?

Thanks.

Mine squeaks as well. Took to my shop and the diagnosis is the bushings.
