Default Swaybar grease?

I am putting new swaybars on and was wondering what type of grease to use on the bushings... the kit didnt come with the grease!

Thanks

The grease that is used for the polyurethane bushings has an Extremely high viscosity, you should moren than likely try to purchase some if you can.

not sure what else you sould use for a viable substitute.

Ok here is the stuff that came with the swaybar kit:
But it feels really sticky, almost more like an adhesive then a grease, is this the stuff i should use?

Yeah, the "grease" they send looks like jizz and is super tacky. I'm not sure how it counts as grease, but what the ****, I'm not a grease engineer.
