I have the same ones. I put synthetic grease on the sides of the bushings before I installed them, then used synthetic grease in the grease fitting and no squeaks...

You definetly need special grease for polyeurethane. It's white and gets all over the place LOL. Do not use regular wheel bearing or ball joint grease.
