Your swaybar should have come with new bushings and a packet of the right grease to do them with. Well the Perrin ones did anyway.

It was a whitish clear grease that came with mine and would guess there is a particular type that you use with bushings so maybe one of the guru's can let you know. Not sure if some grease's will disagree with the bushing material.

If you changed end links to depending on the type you may get a little bit of noise from them to.

Definitely needs grease on the bushes...I'm surprised it didn't come with any...all Whitelines do. Not just any old grease....check with a workshop.

Definately need the proper urethane grease.
Without it, the suspension can bind, squeak, and wear the bushes in no time.
Plenty of grease inside the bush where the bar goes BEFORE YOU FIT THE BAR.
You'll have to undo it to lube it properly now.
