Are they moving? Do them up tighter :P
Did you clean the grease off the bar before you put them on?

If they're not moving then maybe they're just rubbing against the bearings? Theres not many things it could be...

Edit: On this topic; does anyone have a link to where I can get some?

You know what I mean mate.

If you not gonna help, don't bother commenting. Sick of smart ass comment on this forum.

Just need help with my car, not Dickie comments.


Dire, not sure man. Gonna either tighten it more or completely take it off.

No need for that..
At a guess I would say the squeak is coming from the polyurethane bushings on the end links.
If they are brand new they can squeak quite loudly as they're settling in.

Yeah thanks guys!
Found the problem..

The lateral lock spun around and was rubbing in the frame where the sway bar is connected to of the car.
Should do it up really tight then!
