It depends on the design of the bushing and what type of grease/lube you
use. I use a Moly/Graphite grease on all urethane bushings (even on the
Jeep lift kits we install) and none of them squeak...even after off road
use/abuse.

Aren't poly bushing more squeeky? Unless you can find greasable ones.
I think alot of people find that when they replace their stock rubbers
with poly, it gets squeekier. (Still talking bushings, folks, get your
minds out of the gutter.) Stiffer, better performance, longer
lasting... but squeeky.
Maybe I'm wrong.
