Default Bushings?

Hi guys, I gotta quick question! Ive had the comptech strut/sway bar for a couple of months and since Ive had it on I keep hearing this annoying squeaking noise from the rear tires ever time they hit a bump. Is it my bushings? Do I need new ones or should I just lube them? Thanks! Layte!

what color are the bushings...with the red and most black ones you have to lube them every once in a while...there are some other black bushings that contain graphite (the greasy stuff in #2 pencils that acts as a natural lubricant) and do not require any maintenance (i think energy suspension sells black graphite bushings and maybe prothane)

Use Lithium Grease, that stuff takes a lot of abuse and last very long.
