I got a tub of the Energy Suspension lube direct from them. Get the tub, the tubes are just too small.

Great stuff. No squeaks in the last six months.

Is that the Force 5 (or something like that)?? I was just in the auto parts store and they told me about it, ordered a tub for me. I think it was called "something 5" or "Force something" by Energy Suspensions....

Oh, I see its called Formula 5...the auto parts guys recommended it. They want about $9.50 for a 8oz tub. What did you pay from them direct?

Thanks!

Paid about $9 plus shipping direct. Also, gets lots of those disposable gloves because it is very sticky.

I put in enegy suspensions poly all the way through mine. Used the prelube that was included and so far, six months without a squeek and still counting and praying. As the others said, get lots of disposable gloves for this job, you will thank yourself later.

Almost 10 years and two different Talons, and the same set of ES bushings never squeaked. Coat all metal/poly interface surfaces with that sticky-as-hell grease, don't skimp on it.
