Default Whats the name of that grease for poly bushings?

I cant remember the name of that grease that works really well on poly bushings, can someone help me out? When i installed my new sway bars they came with a small tube of lube but it wasnt nearly enough and now the bushings are creaking really bad when i go over bumps. I tried spraying some WD40 on them since i had it on hand, but it didnt do ****. Still creaking.

Help!

I've heard WHite Lithium grease works, I've also heard any PTFE based grease, synthetics, basically any non petroleum based grease should work.

THis site talks about a sticky green poly lube, I've never heard of that before:

On the very top of this link is lube:

You can find it at Autozone, maybe our sponsors sell this or somethig similar?

Go to autozone and get some Mobil 1 SYNTHETIC grease. It's good stuff. I use it on all my poly bushings.

Like what has been stated previously you need to use a full synthetic grease or we sell the Energy Suspension "Super Grease" in grease gun size cartridges. The Energy stuff is the best but a full synthetic will work fine.

I used Mobil1 on all my poly bushings also. Worked great. Synthetic Grease is at most Pepboys/autozone.

I've used a semi-clear, teflon fortified grease called "Super Lube" with good results.

Update: I got a jar of Mobil 1 synthetic grease at autozone for $6 and it worked perfectly. I globed it on like mad and now no squeaks! I think the true culprits were the perches where the sway bar mounts to the body. I lubed those up too and im good to go.
