Urethane Bushing Lubricant Question

I purchased the rear adjustable camber kit for my car from KMAC in Australia.
My car got towed one night, and now the bushings squeak really badly.

I tried regular grease to lubricate them and it quiets down for a few days, but then the squeaking comes back. One of my shop guys told me that they need special lubricant.

Can anyone tell me what I should use.
I was looking at some Teflon and Silicon based lubricants.
Or do you have to use the lubricant that came with the kit?

Thanks for your help

Moly based grease works for me on 4x4s with these type bushes.

As the squeaking began after towing, my guess is that the tow truck operator bent something.
Was your car flat-towed?.
Was it moved only with the supplied tow-hook ring?.
