Default Neuspeed 19mm Sway BT: I got a creek - normal?

Put a 19mm sway on the avant this weekend. Its on what I believe is the Med setting (tube strut all the way up, ends of sway in outer position attached to susp). I am getting a slight creek out of the passenger side. Wondering if this is normal or not. I am contemplating taking off and re-installing.

I will say that the ride is subly improved. More over-steer as expected. It is a plesant offset to all that high glass on the avant that tends to make the rear roll a bit more than the sedan.

re-lube the bushing. Mine makes noise every spring, the salty winters are rough.

Default 2nd. I just rubbed some lube on the bushing...(m)

without even taking anything apart. I let it sit for a while and then it was quiet as ever.

Default Mine squeaks. Still lubed decently. Only happens when I go over speed bumps...

or other things that cause one side of the car to be much higher/lower than the other.
