Help: Sway Bars

Just installed my ms sway bars on everything went fine, but there is a loud creak in my front driver side and I can't figure out what it is. Also the steering wheels is shaking whenever I go straight for more that +25mph. What could i've done wrong, I dropped the car and loosened and retighten the bolts and same result. Suggestions appreciated...

Grease 'em.....

Well the groaning and creaking is probably lack of grease, they ship with a tube of white grease, you really have to slather it on the bushing, inside and out - the bar twists inside the urethane and sounds haunted!

...but that doesn't explain why your wheels would shake....?

Can you notice a difference in handling? What are your impressions?

oh yeah, I did some hard turns and the car is more "willing" to hit the turn and you can sense the rear catching up as quick as the front in the turn. Rides a lot more neutral through turns, straightline wise the car feels a lot more stiff, wheel hop is gone too
