Just buy a small one, they are cheap. Go to any auto parts store- NAPA, AutoZone,,, take your pick,,,, WallMart even has them at times.

I've used those cheap *** lube guns from Schucks and in some cases they didn't last long enough to lube all 10 fittings in my S10. I would check NAPA and pick up one of their pistol grip hand-pump grease guns for about $25 that accepts a 14oz cartridge. Get yourself a lube whip too if it doesn't come with one.


EDIT: something like this I think would work nicely: http://www.napaonline.com/cgi-bin/nc...&usrcommgrpid=

Actually, I wouldn't use grease on poly bushings. I would use Anti-Seize.

You can use Marine grease its easily available at any car or hardware store. No squeaking at all out of mine. Don't use a lithium based grease though it will dry up and do you no good.

Talking

On poly bushings Spohn Performance says:
Poly bushings must be lubricated with synthetic silicone based waterproof grease.
