Squeaky bushings!?!?

wsup guys, for some reason either my camber kit bushings or sway bar bushing squeaks after the rain. It goes away when i spray it with WD40, but im not exactly sure how to get rid of it permanently. I THINK its my ingalls rear camber kit bushings, but my friend told me it might be the sway bushings. I havent touched my sways so i duno why they would squeak. anyone with the same problem? i wana get rid of it, its hella annoying.

Don't use WD40 on poly or rubber bushings. Thats so bad for them its not funny
Use Lithium Grease or some kind of marine grease thats H2O-proof.

Yes, definitely use a silicone lubricant or bushing specific grease.

there is a TSB out on the subject of rear control arm, front bushing noise. The symptom can be replicated by pushing down on the rear bumper, the noise is loud enough to hear.

Do you think this is your problem?

Pick up some FORMULA 5 Prelube. It's made by Energy Suspension. I only had to apply it once. Most auto parts stores will have it.
