Is there some special grease or trick to try before I go back to Toyota rubber ones? I've tried the Energy Formula 5 grease, Silamaric (silicone dry film plastic safe brake grease), and a couple others, and tried Strongflex poly bushing graphite grease this time but havent checked on it yet. Is my sway bar slightly bent or what? Seems to be some sideways play in it that pushes all the grease out. That front ones seems very stout and hard to bend though.
