I was advised to use marine bearing grease (for boat trailers). I guess
because of some property I haven't figured out...doesn't regular old grease
stand up to water too, it certainly does on my hands? Anyhow I used the
marine grease (it's blue in color for some reason). I applied it, after the
PO had installed the bushings without ANY grease, by dabbing it where ever I
could so that gravity would work it into the bushings. Never had a squeak
since...well at least from the polys.
