First check the work you did. Perhaps a shock mounting nut or bolt wasn't tightened enough. Next, check for any exhaust or other mechanical interference. The IPD sway bar is larger than the original and the IPD mountings are ovals which allow for some position adjustment. If something has been hitting you should find tell-tale marks.

Next move on to the torque rod bushings, the panard rod bushing (the rod going side to side from axle to body) and finally the lower trailing arm bushings. On our '93 the torque rod bushings were completely shot and replacing them fixed both the creaks and greatly improved directional stability.
