Default Polyurethane body mounts

fixing to drop the body back on...finally! I am using Energy Suspensions polyurethane body mounts and I read in a previous post that some type of "grease"? should be used on the mounts to prevent future squeaks? Can anyone tell me what to use? Thanks

Energy Suspension makes a silicone grease specifically for their poly mounts. I have never used anything that works quite as good so I would highly recommend using that (and don't be too stingy with it, but don't use an excessive amount whcih would just be a waste).

If you DON'T use it, they WILL squeak!

hmm? Wonder why they didn't suggest the grease when I purchased the mounts? Is there a comparable product that will give me the same results I might be able to pick up locally? Thanks

I found some at a local Speed Shop place that sells the ES stuff. Summit also has it and they are very fast shippers (usually). Comes in a 35mm film size plastic container. I really have never come across anything similar. It's a VERY stickyish, white compound.
