Default BMR Rear Sway Bar

I just had my BMR Rear Sway Bar installed. It handles like a dream, but I hear a whole lot of squeaking coming from the rear end every time I go over the smallest bump. At the same time I had it installed, I had to re-install my original panhard bar, because one of the bushings on my BMR Adjustable had almost completely disintegrated. BMR is sending me the new bushings at no cost, at least.

My question is, do you think the squeaking is caused by the new sway bar or the original panhard bar? I don't hear the squeaking if I turn the wheel back and forth, so I don't think it's the rear-end trying to come un-centered. The squeaking only comes when the rear-end moves up/down.

My passengers side upper bushing sqeaks also. I am going to put some grease on it and reinstall the bolt to see of that helps.

I get creaks and squeaks in the back as well. I think it's normal with aftermarket parts (or maybe it's just wishful thinking).

When I installed mine, I only greased the bushings that go around the swaybar itself; I forgot to grease the bushings in the droplink-chassis connection. I just removed the bar, regreased everything, and re-installed. No more squeaks!
