there's grooves inside the bushings... at least for the progress rear sway bar.
Pack as much lube as possible inside the bushing, then reinstall it. Mine haven't made any noise in the past 6-8 months. |

You need to make sure your using water proof teflon grease. It's usually white in color.
It's safe for poly bushings, and should last a VERY long time.

Teflon grease usually comes in a small tube or plastic "packet".
