Trailing Arm Bushing Squeak

What type of grease can I use to lubricate between bushing and trailing arm bracket?

I sprayed it with Wd40 and it stopped. This tells me where the squeak is coming from.

Get a tube of that marine water resistant grease that they use in boats.

That part of the car is subject to a alot of water when it rains and regular grease can be washed away.
 
It looks like you could drop it easy enough to get at it better.

You need a silicone grease with PTFE so it doesn't effect the rubber.
Or just keep spraying it with WD40 Dry Lube PTFE spray...good stuff
 


Looks like I will have to wait before taking things apart. I am replacing lateral arms so it might be a good idea to lubricate all at once.

Lateral arms all removed. Rear bolts by fuel tank was a pita.

The metal bushing is really worn compared to oem.IMG_6792.JPG
I suspect the metal bushing on trailing arm is rubbing against trailing arm bracket.

Weld on lateral arm is spottyIMG_6794.JPG

This is from Rare Parts which supposedly is an upgrade to OEM

Update...after replacing trailing arms, track bar, sway bar, etc...I lubed bushings and had a wheel alignment. No squeaks. Drives like a dream.
