Energy Suspension Lube

Energy Suspension Lube
For those of you who have installed the kit(*) what if any lubricants have you applied to the polyurethane bushings prior to, during or after installation? I've found a product called "pre-lube" and was wondering if that is only for installation or throughout its life.

That'* mostly for 'captured' bushings like the control arm bushings. Not for the endlinks. Polyurethane is self-lubricating. Considering that stuff also prevents corrosion, I'd venture a guess that it'* simply dielectric grease.

I was just wondering cause they've been a little squeaky after I got them installed a few days ago. Anyone else had that problem? When I had the old rubber bushings my rear suspension had a squeak to it and I lubed the old rubber bushings and it drastically reduced the noise. The poly ones made all suspension noise go away for a bit but now they're kind of loud - only on the rear. Any recommendations?

Found this website:
"Using a petroleum based grease can dissolve polyurethane products"
http://performanceunlimited.com/cobr.../polyeaze.html
Snake oil or should I give it a shot with my squeaky polyurethane?
Now these people say something different
"Parker O-Lube is a petroleum-based grease recommended for use with polyacrylate, Vamac, neoprene, fluorosilicone, nitrile, HNBR, polyurethane, fluorocarbon, Aflas, Hifluor, and Parofluor o-ring materials"

OK, I'm lost - so Will is ANY lube ok or what?

Parker O-Lube is great. I use it to rebuild seals in pneumatic valves and cylinders at work.
Anyone know if dielectric grease is petroleum based? Another possible choice is:

It is one of my favorite lubricants.
