Annoying squeak!
I just installed a sway bar bushing kit from Energy Suspension and as per the instructions greased the bushings before install. Well i have a for lack of a better word a squeak on the drivers side now that showed up two days after. My question is what type grease could i put on the bushings to stop this? The grease in the kit was real thick and i'm not sure what type it was, I'm assuming something silicone based would be ok?

The grease in the kit is basically a dielectric grease.. You can buy it at just about any parts stores.. I know ES sells big tubes of it but they charge a premium for it.. I usually get the stuff from GM dealership and they sell the tubes at gm locally for about $4..
I cant believe it would be squeaking already...did you grease all of the bushing where it contacts metal...Especially on the end links where the big wasers are??

Where the big washers are might be the squeak. The kit had a little packet of grease that barely covered everything and the whole time doing this i was thinking it wasn't enough.
I'll have to go get the grease and relube them, Thanks.
