Powerflex Rear Sway Bar Bushings

Do they squeak over time? I've searched and many on here have used them, but have seen very little reviews on if they are noisy after 10-15K miles. Figured I'd go ahead replace these bushings while I'm doing both the front and rear sway bar end links.

Install them with marine grease, it'll stave off the noise for a very long time. Rear is thankfully easy to re-grease, compared to the front.

So in other words if they aren't greased then they will squeak? I'm def not messing with the fronts considering the complexity of getting to it.

Yes ungreased poly bushings will be noisy
