Just to clarify, rubberized bushings don't need lube but I have had 0 problems/noises with bar bushings I have had to lube.

On my car I have had poly bushings on my TRD, Hotchkis, Perrin, and Mann setups and they never squeaked at all.

Now someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you only need to lube the inside of the bushing, and not where the bushing bracket clamps over. I always add a little lube to the point on the bar where the bushings go too.

Like RCE said, teflon tape is something to look at as well.

The Mann bar uses a teflon tube in place of lube, but it is a 9/16" bushing (.5625") over a 13mm bar (.5118"), and the teflon tube fills in the .0507" gap between the 2 measurements.
