Newly installed Nuespeed rear sway bar is squeeking.
When installing I used all of the grease that was provided on both the inside and outside of the urethane bushings like the instructions said and felt that everything was sufficiently retightened.
Now when I go over larger bumps or speed bumps, the rear end squeaks. No noise except for when the suspension needs to travel.
Any hints or ideas on what to do to get rid of this sound?
Thanks - GarreTTk

I was positive my rear suspension was squeaking/groaning. I lubed the bushings
and any other part I could back there. It turned out to be the front sway bar was making the noise.
Dealer replaced it during my 20K service. Noise is gone. Same symptoms.. Large bumps and speed bumps would cause the noise.

Sorry, long time for post but if you read this, easy and cheap fix..
A buddy TT owner had the same prob. and sway bar you do. I helped him apply 10 wrappings on the bar around the area of the bushings with 1/2 in. teflon plumbers tape from a hardware store like home depot (costs about 50 cents)and noise is gone. It has been quite for 3 months.

After two weeks, the rear H-sport sway bar still has a clunking noise... Anyone have the same issue?
