>>>You can put the stuff in a grease gun, but that isn't going to get it 
where it needs to be.   Among other places, it needs to be on the outside, 
ends of each bushing, where it touches the suspension mount on the body.

If you don't want squeaky suspension, you either run stock-style bushings, 
or you pull your poly bushings and manually goop them up.   Once done, they 
pretty well stay done, i.e. it's normally not an item that requires periodic 
maintenance.

Failing that, you suck it up and drive around in a car that creaks and 
groans and sounds, to bystanders on the sidewalk, as if it's literally falling 
apart....
