What type of Lube?

I just bought the Front End Rebuild Kit from Performance Suspension Components.

What type of lube do I need to get for this kit?

I asked a similar question and Just Suspension told me that for poly bushings to use a synthetic grease. Someone else recommended the brand Super Lube.

Just Suspension guy also said that when installing poly bushings you do not tighten them like you do rubber. Meaning just tighten them until they are touching, do not tighten them till they bulge like with rubber.

Hope that helps.

I didn't think you could tighten a polyurethane bushing till it bulges.

I thought polyurethane bushings were hard not rubbery.

So I should buy a brand lube called Super Lube? What lube should I buy?
