Default rear sway bar poly bushings squeaky as hell!!!

i installed a new solid 24mm sway bar on the rear of my 4th gen prelude (no 4ws) i originally just used some standard thick chassis grease (the type you lube ball joints on truck with) and put that between the bar and the bushings, it was ok for probably a day,

then every time the rear suspension was compressed it makes this hideous squeak coming from the poly bushings attached to the chassis.

i then took them off and used a very high quality thick silicone brake grease, it lasted a little longer, but the squeaking came back!!

its driving me nuts!!!

is there any type of grease/lube/graphite that will eliminate this squeak?

You could try engine assembly moly lube...it takes 500,000 psi of pressure to remove it from metal. I also use it on paint guns to lube the needle/packing and it works really good.
