thanks Hydrashocker for the tip! I will try to get underneath there sometime this week...what's a good lubricant to use? I know I have some WD40 at home? Would that work?

Heck, maybe I could even just take the damn sway bar off real quick, and take her for a gentle spin and see if the noise went away for sure...

Heck no, do not use WD40. It is not a lubricant and it will degrade the bushings. Silicone grease with no petroleum is what you want.

Chances are you won't be able to get they sway bar off anyways... I know I couldn't get mine off. The end-links came apart just fine, but the bushings in the middle were impossible to take off. I just lubricated the bar on either side of the middle bushings and then since the ends were off... I just rocked the back up and down and side to side until the grease went inside the bushings.
