Anybody figure out the trick to killing the squeaks and creaks with this thing?

Been greasing it regularly, but it doesn't make a lick of difference.
 
Loose frame bracket bolts allow squeaks and creaks. Over-torqued/stretched hardware will not stay tight and should be replaced.

I drilled and tapped my JKS track bar and installed grease fitting at both ends.
Chassis grease can be used for lube but, instead, I use I a mini-grease gun filled with a high quality silicone grease to lube them, it doesn't wash out as quickly as chassis grease.
 
Probably coming from the urethane side. If you can remove the crush sleeve in the middle, wrapping it once or twice with regular white teflon tape will eliminate squeaking.
