Hello all need this grease to install my front sway bar and do my rear irs bushes, where can this be found?

Check at an off-road place, they should have the grease available. I've never been in a "tuner" (ricer) shop but I'd bet they stock the stuff also.

When I installed my bar I wrapped the bar in teflon tape. It works good and has not squeeked at all. I think this is an old off road trick, the grease attracts dirt and the dirt grind the poly bushing. The teflon tape seems to last OK.

I always use silicon grease. Go to the plumbing isle at a hardware store and pick up a little package of it. The kind I have is in a plastic container that kinda looks like a woman's makeup compact thingie.

I've used it on all of my bushings on two of my cars and never had an issue. It does not attract dirt, it repels water, it's great stuff and relatively inexpensive.
