That's questionable. Theoretically, the rear sway bar would stiffen the rear suspension allowing the rear struts to work less, because they are always working together rather than without it, when the struts may be working closer to the extremities of its motion. But at the same time, it is an adjustment to the rear suspension.

I would never recommend taking off any part to get warranty work - it's dishonest, for better or worse. But I would suggest making sure the mechanics know what they are dealing with. If they know how a sway bar works, then it should make sense that it would only serve to ease the struts' work, rather than put greater stress on them. You don't necessarily have to bring it up, but if they do, then discuss it with them until a resolution is reached.

By the way, it could be the sway bar itself doing the creaking. Have you greased between the bar and perches?
