Whats the best crushtube to polybush grease?
I've got Copper grease, Lith-Moly CV grease, and some packets of "wheel bearing" grease any of these any good for it?

On reccomendation from LCB, I went with copper grease for all of my suspension bolts/bushes.

For the actual steel>polyurethane interface, not just for the bolts?

I fitted polybushes on to my beachbuggy only for it to then start squeaking louder than the clanky engine, despite the supplier claiming that they
were self lubricating. So to sort it I just used copper grease and have had no problems since and also no side effects on the bushes though they will
probably last a lot longer now.

Ditto - squeaked all the way to and from the SVA.
Subsequently stripped and relubed with normal grease. No problems after 3k miles in all weathers/temps.
