    To reduce the creaking, spray a layer of PTFE/Teflon grease on the area where the brace touches the chassis before you install it.

    Yup, from Bunnings. It comes in a slim dark green can with a black cover. I think that's the one. Not cheap though, around $17. So get a few guys to chip in and spray that shit on. It's better than WD40 because you don't get that oily film which leaks out as you drive the car. A cheaper alternative is spray on lithium grease. Thinking about it now, lithium grease should work better. Get the one in the light blue can, also from Bunnings. It's worth it because with the lithium grease, you can use it lube up other parts of your car, including on the battery terminal to stop the green powdery corrosion, without having to worry about it damaging plastic parts like WD40 does.

    Lithium grease is thicker and would be better at reducing or eliminating the sound. Teflon grease is thin and once the film is broken, the squeaking can come back.

    I wonder if you could install some sort of rubber or silicon gasket under each of the mounting points which could potentially solve the problem?
    See a good post? Give it a PQ point.

    Then you might lose some rigidity because the gasket allows slight movement.....
