I seem to remember seeing synthetic at one of the NAPA stores here. Synthetic is recommended because it won't cause the polyurethane to breakdown.

If you get in a bind, I ordered about 3 tubes of synthetic from Spohn. They carry it and you can order it from them. Not sure about the delivery charges to get to you.

Good luck.

Squeaking is addressed with grease.
Popping is going to be loose nuts and bolts most likely the endlinks.

If you can't get the right lube, use what you can get. The nuts and bolts are going to be corrected by checking and rechecking the tightness of each one until you have it resolved.

At the track gorrilla tape, wire and aluminum cans fix almost anything. LOL Sway bar bushes are pretty durable so you should be OK. Did your bars come with new brackets and grease fittings?

Actualy they are Eibach sway bars with new bracket & grease fittings, what happened is that i had a cam swap so the guys here removed the sway bars & cleaned them then but petrolum grease

Those bushes are almost hard plastic and the regular lube shouldn't hurt them. Your warm weather is a contrubiting factor making the grease hot and 'liquid'. Find the best high temp lube and use it as needed.
