rather than using grease on polyurethane bushings, as I'd had problems with squeaking in the past, when I rebuilt the front end on my old Scirocco I just tried an idea I had - I got a tube of powdered graphite, sanded the bushings lightly with fine sandpaper, and rubbed graphite into them until they were a uniform pencil color. Car remained squeak free until I sold it several years later.
