Hi, having the chirping from my front sway bar.

What have others used for to stop it.
I tried silicone gease that some had recomended and it seem to have made it worse.

Any other magic juice to use?

I use standard moly lube that you used on tie rods and ball joints.. I also install grease fittings on all my bushigns so that I can inject a little fresh grease at every oil change

I use a Teflon grease from Huskey called Lube-"O"-Seal on all of my bushings. This is the same sticky stuff that comes with poly bushing sets, but its only a few dollars for a standard grease gun cartridge full of it. I do have poly everywhere so I don't know how well it works with plain ol' rubber. Can't hurt to try!

You could always just switch to greasable poly bushings. I actually have a spare set of front and rear greasable swaybar bushings for an 88 as I ordered two sets by accident. PM me if you're interested.

I've heard teflon ball-hitch grease works well, it's very similar to the stuff you get originally with poly bushings.

try caliper slide grease. It is a synthetic grease that doesn't wash out from the first puddle you drive thru.
