Default Squeeky rear ARB poly bushes - what grease to use?

Hi All

I have a Whiteline rear ARB with polyurethane bushes. These were ok when new (with the supplied grease) but now are quite noisy even over small bumps. I've tried wrapping the bars in ptfe tape and liberally applying multi purpose grease which improves things but not totally and only temporarily. Is there another grease which is recommended for the job?

Cheers,

Ben

Stripping them to reapply grease is of course both time consuming and tedious. I use Motul motorcycle chain lube on mine - designed to penetrate the o-ring links on the chain before the solvent evaporates and it thickens up, so works quite well on the bushes. Easy, job done.

Copper slip will do.

I thought it was a lithium grease supplied, I use a 3 in1 lithium and it works a treat failing that Id contact the said maker and ask.
