Squeaky Daizen sway bars
After installing Daizen front and rear sway bars I developed a bad squeak in the front going over bumps a year later. I removed the poly bushings and cleaned them up good and applied a liberal coating of silicone grease to the bushings. This made the squeak go away for seven months. Took them apart again and greased with Sil-Glyde. That lasted for six months. Yesterday took them apart again, cleaned them and applied door ease to the bushings. Will find out how long this lasts. Daizen can offer no help to me, they said to apply their grease to the bushings. But it only lasted a year itself. Has anyone else had this problem? And is there a long term fix short of putting the factory bars back on.
ummnm, that's funny. i have had the sways since summer of 03. in winter of 04, with tons of rain, it started to squeak and grease were added and till now it's still dead quiet. so it was more than a yr and now it's more than a yr too. wonder why yours go out so fast
and for bushings, i have had it for ove 6 months? it's still dead quiet as well, not a single sound.

Rubber bushings: The Daizens and TRD blues are approximately the same diameter. I searched around the net and in CL, but couldn't find the bushings by themselves.
Zerk fittings: This looked like the best solution (apart from the silicon spray). Other sway bar bushing manufacturers fit them, sometime as an option. I actually bought the zerk fittings, but didn't feel like taking the bushings apart after they quieted down with the spray.
