IF you mean what we recommend to use,
any automotive grease will do the trick since our bushings are already auto lubricated.
As explained on the website, the material contains mini pockets of oil and teflon based lubricants.Each times a micron of the surface use down, some lubricant is released.
Here is a magnification of the surface of the material:
you can run the bushings without any lubrication, but it is always better to put some grease to protect the bushings from salt,dirt and chemicals...
It also helps keeping the dirt away thus giving it longer lifetime ..

no problem Jung..
but just go check out the price at wich other companies are selling solid control arm bushings ...
then polys are a really good replacement fro worn out factory bushings.. but i guess except for the squeaks on a brand new car you can replace the upper control amr bushings with poly ones and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference..
you know why ? because there is no or almost no gain in performance because they are still " compliants" ..
but neway poly bushings are good cheap alternative for replacing worn out bushings in most LCA parts..
( though unfortuantly they start wearing out extremely quick and they start from hard to soft in just about 1-2 years when driven hard )
