    Sway bar end leak squeak?

    I recently had a sway bar end link go (very) bad, so last weekend I replaced both sides with Meyle HD links. Solved the problem, car drives super tight, however now there is a ridiculous creaking/squeaking noise when I turn. It sounds like new tires turning at a standstill on polished concrete, or something is being stretched way beyond it's limit. However I know I installed them correctly, there's really no way not to. It's really bad when the car is cold, however it eventually goes away after I drive for a bit, let the car sit, then drive again. I don't drive much, a few miles per day, is there some type of break in period for these things? Seems odd that there would be. When I originally purchased my H&R sway bar a year or so ago, I got new links at that time, some cheap URO or febi ones, and they made no such sound. These Meyle ones are quite a bit beefier than my old ones, I'm just wondering if something is askew under there. Anyone run into anything like this??

    These are the links in question

    Just realized that this is probably better suited for the Mechanical & Troubleshooting section, adding it there...
