I'll have to give this a shot now. Does the car need to be lifted very high to get to the bushings?

No lifting is needed to reach the stabilizer bushings with spray.

I like to have the wheels off to get the rest of them.

Yep, the silicone spray.

I ran the car up on my ramps and was able to reach them all. For the rear bushings, they are right there and no need to lift at all. Usually things are never this easy and actually work. This time the little guy won!

FYI,
That can of silicone spray that posted the pic of, has petroleum distillates in it!

I went to Napa after work and bought a can of silicone that's not petroleum based and used that last night. Liquid wrench (Gunk products) does make a non-petro based silicone in a white can, but I couldn't find it anywhere.

You can also replace them with polyethene bushings from Ecklers (they come with special grease).
