good question! i want to know too... i don't just get a squeak, i got a got damn knock here and there after the tein installation (had to remove the sway bar to do it)! i tried silicone spray and green half-synthetic grease, the former dried out in no time, the latter hardened and didn't stay either...

Marine grease. Thats what my brother uses on the poly bushings on his Addco swaybar (96 Probe). I havent heard them squeak yet. This grease is waterproof, and really thick. It also feels really nasty on your hands, but it works. I think he paid $4.50 for a 1 lb container, you could give half to your friends and still have enough to last you a really long time. I dont remember the brand, but if you cant find it anywhere (we had a hard time), try a boat shop.

How about buying polyurethane lubricant from Prothane or Energy Suspension? Ever thought about that?

I didn't know Energy Suspension made lub
for poly bushings.. I have poly lub
from Gears and i'm guess it's being washed
off. Before this, I used to use synthetic
marine grease from Penzoil. That one used
to "dry off" unfortunately.
Now that I got the squeek back, i'm trying
to seek a permanent fix.. may be go back
to rubber... eeeeeek

the stuff energy suspension sends with their bushings is crap. that stuff was dry as soon as it was put on.

i used lithium grease for mine and no problems...no squeeking.

 

[Dr. James]

Moly-B is the best lubricant to use on this stuff. It is the same grease used on the back of brake pads, and on the caliper hardware to keep them from squealing. I can't spell the word correctly, but is something like Molybdenum. It is a graphite based lubricant and works wonders. I had the complete Poly bushing kit, and I had no squeaks at all.

Then you must have received different lube than I did. I used the stuff that came with the bushings, and no squeeks yet. The stuff that came with my Neuspeed sway bars was the same syrup like lube. It's worked great as well.
