What kinda of grease can I use to lube up my OEM rubber bushings? They make creaking noises. I am replaceing the front bushings.. but rears look okay. I figure it needs to be a heavier grease that's semi waterproof? i am just scared that I would buy a type/brand that would "eat away" the rubber...

help me out.. i am new to this. Thanks!!
 
My Honda factory service manual calls for silicone grease to be applied to these. I have never bothered to do it, but it makes sense to if they squeak.

I would use Sil-Glyde, which you can get at NAPA.
 
I use Dow MOLYKOTE 33 EXTREME LOW TEMP. BEARING GREASE.

I am listing an extra pail for sell if you want a bucket of it.
 
Yep, silicon is the way to go. Hydrocarbon greases will penetrate into the bushings and swell them up, unless of course the bushings are silicon.
 
Get some atp stop leak stuff and put it it a spray Bottle and spray it on. Scotty kilmer recommends it in one of his videos. And boy does it work.
