I wonder if the poly strut bar bushings will squeak. Those Nagisa bars have a nice design...I just wish mine I had less miles.

Hijacking my own...

My rear sway bar bushings don't have a grease port and they remain quiet.
When I had the fronts on (no grease port) they squeaked like crazy, especially when the weather got below 65F. I took them off and put on the OEM rubber ones...quiet but a bit more roll to deal with. Trade-off.

Not IMO - if anything they tighten that area up. For example, I installed Energy poly's with grease ports on both sway bars and the difference was noticeably tighter.
