The bushings can squeak.
This happened to me, and several others. A couple potential fixes are:
1. Sand the inside of the bushings with heavy grit sandpaper. Do it in a circular motion so the grooves you create make a circle parallel with the sides of the bushings. Then, regrease liberally with teflon-impregnated marine grease. This is what Neuspeed suggested for me.
2. After trying the above solution, I installed Zerk fittings. No problems since then, and it just takes a minute to regrease if necessary. I personally would do both at the same time since most of the work is just taking the bar off.

You know they got right on it after their subframe brackets started causing failures. Seems like
it would be a good idea to send us all some grease fittings like the bushings on the H-Sport sways...would make it a lot easier to regrease if we didn't have to remove thge bushings.
