I`ve got new IPD polyurethane suspension bushings (just rear for now) and the lube IPD supplies. Did a search, but seems to be no consensus of opinion on where or if to use the lube. Trying to avoid squeaks! What say you?

That aqua stuff is wicked - anywhere you've got metal to poly contact is the right answer AFAIK.

If IPD supplies the same grease as SuperPro, it's wicked stuff. It's sticky and thick and doesn't wash off. There is red stuff and white stuff. I'm not sure why they changed from red to white but the white is the later stuff. Both seem to be equally sticky and equally effective.

Re-greasing every spring will save you from squeaks although I drove my 245Ti(RIP) and never regreased the bushings and it never squeaked, even after three years. I would not recommend that treatment...
