Hold horses...many poly bushings made today are claimed petro grease safe. The energy ones in my UMI lowers are. You might want to ask BMR what they use.
Just make sure it's SYNTHETIC.
Popular choices are:
-Mobil 1 Synthetic
-"Green" Grease (good stuff)
-Super Lube (we sell, and recommend this)
-Amsoil
-Redline
UnleashedBeast on here, sent me some Amsoil EP Grease a while back, and we have been testing it on our parts, as well as my personal parts on my car.
It works good, really good, and tends to prevent push AND wash out really well.

Yes, a "normal" petroleum based grease is not good on any poly bushing. It will permeate, soften the bushing, and either promote cracking or crumbling.

Damn well that's good to know. Didn't sat they needed anything, I was just going to bolt on.
the biggest mistake people make with grease is too much and they hydraulic the bushings out , crack or split them. I think 4 pumps, especially up front, is too much.

I just pulled the trigger on some BMR pieces with poly bushings. After the initial grease/install, how often do they need to be re-greased, generally speaking? Is there a way to tell when they need it, or do you just wait until they start getting noisy?
If I used a lithium based grease to install some BMR parts with polyurethane bushings. For the parts to go in the brackets easier. Should I remove the parts and wipe them clean. Did use Mobil synthetic to grease after the install.

I installed these on my car a couple of years ago. I only drive the car like 1000 miles a year. That being said, I thought they were pre-greased and never greased them up! Are they ruined or will I maybe need new bushings?
