Swaybar Grease

I have the H-Sport Comp rear swaybar and it has developed a little bit of creaking. Any recommendations for what type of grease I should use on the bushings?

Anti-seize, easily found at any auto parts store. Silver and slippery!

I had to grease mine and Alta told me to use Marine grease - it is thick and can withstand the elements well. It is in the auto parts store.

if the bushings are poly, then you need to use blue marine grease (according to Energy Suspensions).

I've used Mobil 1 Synthetic Grease with good results (On the Nissan) for over 2 years.
