F-Sport Sway Bar noise
Hello Fellow CT200h owners. (specifically F-Sport SE owners or owners that have installed F-Sport Sway Bars)
I have, piece by piece, converted my Tech Pkg. into a close equivalent to the U.S. F-Sport SE Pkg. I believe the noise, that I am experiencing, is coming from the F-Sport Sway Bar bushings. It is a squeaking sound, most evident when driving over speed bumps or any time there is a compression and extension of the shocks.
Any feedback or suggested remedy is appreciated.
Thank you!

Squeaking is mostly due from not enough grease being applied to the bushings. I've installed bushings on my Subaru and my alignment guy didn't put enough grease on the new bushings that came with my sways and I had to go back the next day for him to grease it up. The creaks get annoying enough when you drive over certain roads.

Thank you for the feedback. I have had them taken apart and greased three times (different grease each time). I had the last application done yesterday and so far, so good.
I noticed that it becomes more pronounced when it is cold out. With warm weather coming and the right grease appication, hopefully, the problem is gone.
