    I assume this stuff would be just as good, right? It’s what I already had on hand...what I use for greasing the driveshaft. I already greased the end links once with it about a month or so ago, but it didn’t seem to help much. I still get creaking, and every once in a while while cutting the wheel sharply while pulling out of a parking spot, I get a pretty loud clunk.

    I have a 4.5 bds lift kit on my 2014 Tundra. I contacted BDS and they told me they sale a relocation bracket for the sway bar end links. That way it eliminates this annoying squeaky sound. 5 week back order and has to be thru a authorized dealer. The part numbers are raw meaning they do not have it on their website. The request for this part needs to be addesss with the BDS rep.

    Can you take another photo with the coilovers and the sway bar with end links? I want to see if its similar to mine for comparison.

    this is where I apply the grease..
    this takes away all of my squeaking issues.. reapply as needed.. I've only had to grease twice since may 2019..

    Man yours look way different then mine. I greased it like you recommended and it went away but when I hit a bump I can here a thud noise like its hitting something. I looked down there and the top of it is bouncing off the coilovers. There's markings underneath as will as another mark when i crank the wheel all the way when i turn i here and move the truck i feel like its hitting the rack. U have those issues as well? Going to get pictures later and send to you

    I don't have those issues...
    I did have the swivel joints rub my rim but I don't think thats your problem...
    Unfortunately you will need a professional.
