I've had that exact same problem on a Honda Accord also. I put front & rear
Supension Techniques sway bars on and immediately after, squeak city. I even
called ST about it a couple times, they told me that I should apply more
grease, so they sent me a couple more free packs. I called and complained
some more, then finally I found the solution....I sold the car. Sorry for
the sarcasm, but ST had no solution but to crawl under the car once a week,
that wasn't going to work. I did however go thru the work of putting my
stock bars back on in order to sell the car. Nobody was going to buy it
squeaking like that. And I did manage to sell them to another unknowing
accord owner!
