several pretty easy suspension questions... I'm in the process of my rear swap and I'm swapping out some suspension stuff while I'm at it. I'm doing LCA's with lowering brackets, TA, and PHB. The TA and PHB are adjustable and the LCA's aren't. I'm also replacing the end links and sway bar bushings. Should I lube the end link and sway bar bushings when I put them on? Like smear some lube on the sway bar and end links? Just wondering if those might squeak if I don't. What type of lube do most people use? I read marine grade lube and someone at work said get teflon lube.
Do any auto parts stores carry POR-15? I need to get some for my new rear and it should be here next week. Not sure I'd have it on time if I ordered it online.
Lastly, I have the UMI adjustable TA. I need an angle finder since the TA doesn't come with one. Any idea where I can find that at? NAPA maybe? Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give me.

The angle finder is called a magnetic protractor. I got mine at harbor freight tools, dont know if that helps.
Do NOT lube the end links. DO lube the middle bushings.
I use Mobil 1 synthetic chassis grease.
