I have used SuperLube for a decade on the poly bushings. It's a synthetic

X's 2 on the Superlube. I had a race Camaro with poly bushing everywhere. I never had one squeak. I know some greases are not compatable and tend to degrade the poly.

Use a silicon grease, which I believe the Super-Lube to be. Can also use the grease sold by Energy Suspension or Baker Precision.

RoT with Urethane bushings is if they don't squeak when you first install them (some do even with the silicone grease) then when they do start to squeak it's time for replacement.

Super Lube is great stuff...it's teflon impregnated and food-grade, believe it or not . Chaos specs it for the poly bushings in their upper control arms.

Another great one is Green Grease, you can sometimes find it in the stores but easier just to order online. The wear and washout characteristics are even better than Super Lube, itself already a far cry from regular CV grease and the like. It's great for parts that need grease but must remain exposed to the elements.

I don't know if it is a silicone base, ie suitable like ntsqd mentioned.
