Help Squeaky Front Sway Bar

I have the Technik/ Eibach sways with poly eurathane bushings.

It came with grease but the grease looks like its dry? Is there a way to install a nipple grease fitting to apply grease without a removing sway bar brackets?

We need BeastPower EZ Grease Front Poly Sway bar Brackets...

What type of grease should be used on them poly bushings N
E Way?

Hey Sam,

When BMW installed my ACS Sways, the bushings are RED and it had some sought of White Grease. It looks a little like tooth paste.

I didn't touch it. I didn't want to get my hands dirty.

If you really need to know I guess I could get one of my children to crawl under the car and touch some. I'm kidding.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help. But it is White, if that helps. No Squeaks here.

Hey Sam,
I had some UUC swaybars on a past e46 323 which used poly bushings. From past experience with polyurethane, i was ready for squeeking as the lube wore away, so i drilled a hole, can't remember the exact size thru the bushing and the bracket. I then threaded a 'zerk' fitting into the bracket so i could use a grease gun and pump some grease in every so often. The bushings were grooved, so they would hold a little grease, and the grease could theoretically be pumped in and spread around.

It seemed like a good idea to me, i wasn't sure why it didn't come this way in the first place.
I ended up getting rid of the car a couple months later, so can't say if it worked or not...
Mike
