I've read thru the threads and seemed like some were leaving them alone, some putting grease on anyway, and some were using some heavy-duty teflon tape. Anyone have updates on any of these methods? Oh, and a source for the 'heavy duty' teflon tape (I assume this is beefier than the stuff at Home Depot for plumbing)?

I use Energy Suspension grease on my sway bar bushings.

Respectfully suggest they initially be installed dry – per H&R’s instructions – if for no other reason than to comply with the letter of their warranty stipulations.

They’ll likely remain silent for at least their first year after fitment.

Twice have had H&R’s U.S. distributorship furnish gratis F&R replacement bushings. Its most recent pair of front bushings continue to work well as delivered. The aft mounts somehow seem to need regular Teflon tape and/or molybdenum disulfide treatment to avoid squealing like a stuck pig. Doing so has become yet another task to be completed during brake pad/rotor inspection and other perfunctory undercar maintenance.

They’re worth it though.

Thank you gentlemen, that's what I was looking for!
