Default Squeeky Front End...
Have a 2004 Coupe. When it's below...say...40 degrees, something on the right front makes noise when traversing speed bumps. Is it the sway bar bushings or ??? What can be used to lube them? I don't seem to get the same sound out of the left side.

I had a squeak when I did my Z06 sway bar swap. Gave the bushing a good shot of silicone grease and all is good

Use silicone grease....
Do not use any type of petroleum based grease.

What are the detriments if I use a silicone spray containing petroleum distillates?
