Morning , I've heard some people here talking about greasing up the bushings because of noise.I think I've seen it called marine grease or something like that?Iam not sure what kind of grease to use?Any advice on what to use and where to buy it ?

They usually give you a package with the bushings. I don't know exactly what kind of grease it is but it looks like vaseline. You may take a look out on Energy Suspensions website and see if they sell it.

I used a thin coating of Mobil 1 synthetic :cheers:

Try your local speed shop. That's where I bought it last. I believe it was from Energy Suspension Comes in a little plastic container - looks like a film container.

Use Marine grease, it will last muck longer than conventional. It is the same stuff used to pack boat trailer bearings. Find it at any auto parts store.

My polyurethane bushing set came from Vette Brakes, and there were several tubes of "Tef-Cone" grease in the box. As you might guess, it's a teflon-silicone mix of some sort. Pep Boys and some other auto parts shops sell similar teflon-silicone greases. :seeya

I used marine grease - got it at Boaters World, $2.79 for a small tube. The machine shop recommended it also for the control arm shafts when I reinstalled the bushings.

Try a marine parts supplier

I used marine grease on the rear trailing arm bushings on my '96 Corvette, and they squeak a little over low speed bumps. Doesn't bother me because the ride and handling are great, but you may want to try the bushing specific stuff instead. I just used the stuff that came with the bushings (Energy Suspension) on my '76 Suburban front end and they don't squeak at all.
I installed rubber bushings on most of my '74 Corvette, so there are no squeaks and no need for grease. That being said, I think urethane bushings are better and will be changing out a few rubber to urethane as I go.
