Questions on Progress f/r sway bars

I just finished installing my progress front and rear/tie bars last weekend. I read all the DIY and know its not backwards or anything dumb. I also opted to use Grey's endlinks, my question is, Does anyone else get a slight rattle when going over eneven surfaces?

It comes from the front and back about the same loudness ( which isnt that loud, my sterio drowns it right out) Could it be the heavy duty endlinks just rotating back and forth in the heim joints?

Second, the rear squeeks even tho I put grease in the bushings, probably nothing else I can do, but I wanted to see if others had this happen too.

By the way the roads here are bumpy as sh*t right now and covered with frost heaves.

which version of grey's endlinks to you have? the gold ones or the silver ones?

i had the gold ones (older version) and I had rattling for a few months. It does go away though, after your suspension gets used to the new stiffness of the swaybars. Give it some time, and make sure u tighten the endlink bolts as much as you can, or else you might lose one like i did. That's not fun.

Its the endlinks... hemi joints tend to be noisy. I have greys endlinks on the back with my 25.4mm rear bar and they make a racket when I'm not driving on smooth surfaces.. But once the bar is under load (Cornering) they are silent.

I have the newer version I think because they are silver. The noise does go away once the bar is under load so I guess its heim joints. Good to know that its normal.
Thanks
