Years ago, Dennis Quella used to recommend NAPA or Permatex silver
anti-seize.
I took note of the fact that poly suspension bushings are normally sold
with a tiny tube of dedicated bushing lube. That lube is available in a much
larger tube from NAPA stores. It's got a stupid name (Sil-Glyde) and is
packaged for them by the manufacturer, AGS.
Here is the OEM packaging:

And the NAPA version:

A little bit goes a long way--one tube will last a lifetime!
