I've got the rear bar on my car. It works fantastically well. Less body roll, less understeer, car tracks a little more precisely. Will buy the front when ready.
However, the rear squeaks where the ends of the strut bar are attached to the rubber bushing on top of the shocks. I only hear squeaks when going over bumps. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Did I not tighten the retaining nuts enough? Did I tighten them too much? I sprayed some white lithium grease on the bushings and the squeak stopped for about two weeks until the squeak came back, should I use a different grease? what kind?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I spent 10 seconds spraying the connections to the top of the shocks with silicone and that seems to have eliminated the squeak. I week now and no noise -- not bad for 6 bucks and 10 seconds. Oh, btw, use a 2 to 2.5 inch hole cutter from the rear of the trunk lining to cut a clean hole for a professional looking install.
