Urethane bushing lube?

Is there anything in particular to make the urethane bushings stop squeaking? At low speeds, my car sounds like an old wooden ship, and it only has urethane bushings in the lower control arms. They came pre-lubed, but I'm wondering if the stuff didn't get thoroughly distributed, or if there's better stuff.

I just used anti seize in previous car, and it held up fine. My MCS sway bar came with some green stuff - not sure what it was.
