I need to re-grease a couple bushings so my car stops sounding like a sea lion over bumps. I don't have any of the ES or Whiteline grease left-over.

I've seen this Super Lube recommended before and I actually think I saw a tube of it last time I was at harbor Freight. Anyone used it?
Clicky

I've also seen Napa Sil-glyde recommended before.

What grease have you used that works well on poly bushings and where do you get it?
 

I don't know what where to get the good stuff, but Superpro (Whiteline) has a polyurethane grease specifically for poly bushings.

Use silicone grease that you can get at hardware store for greasing o-rings.

That's kinda what I was thinking. I've got some dow chemicals silicone o-ring grease we use at work and it is very similar to the stuff ES sends with their bushing kits.

As for black grease - do you mean regular old bearing grease? Petroleum based products break down polyurethane, pretty quickly.
