bnrodn,

"Super Lube" silicone lubricating grease works well for urethane bushings. Do not use a multi-purpose grease - this type of grease is not silicone based and will ruin polyurethane bushings.

You can buy the silicone grease it on Amazon (and other places). Recommend that you buy a grease gun and a 14 oz. cartridge so the grease can be pumped into the channels of the bushings. Taking the sway bar off to reapply grease is a lot of work (in my opinion), a grease gun makes the job very easy and quick.

HTH.
The problem with SuperLube is it’s not really thick enough and doesn’t last nearly as long as the Energy Suspension silicone grease you can easily get. It’s the industry standard and what pretty much everyone sends out with their bars or bushings. O’Reilly can usually have it same day.

UNBROKEN,

Thanks for the info. Until I started using urethane bushings, I did not know about silicone grease and Super Lube was recommended by one of the vendors so that is what I have been using. Super Lube greased bushings do need regreasing regularly, as you said. I figured this was just part of living with urethane components. I will hot foot it to O'Reilly's and get some E/S silicone grease. [cheers]
