I assume you chose boat bearing grease since it is somewhat waterproof? Paul P > > My swaybars are really squeeky.

The squeaky ones always seem to be aftermarket urethane items. There are also synthetic greases. I suspect even the OEM bushings are actually not natural rubber, but butyl or neoprene.
