Squeaking !!!

So I had my Alta 19mm sway bar installed last summer and the mechanic (did it super cheap) said the grease was not necessary... He was wrong.. so about a week later a buddy and I got under there and greased the bar and it helped. but now its squeaking again! I was searching around online and saw these
http://www.energysuspensionparts.com...sp?prod=9.5156 has anyone on here had any luck with this product? it seems like a great concept I just want to make sure they are not garbage so I do not cause more trouble than I help.

I havn't used those before but I will say that you really want to grease the hell out of the bushings. I didnt do enough on mine at first and it squeaked later, I applied a sloppy amount of grease and ever since, things have been good.
