Trying to figure out what to use to lubricate rubber sway bar bushing. The factory manual says to use "glycerine paste" but that appears to be an extinct dinosaur. I'm assuming Red Rubber Grease would be the modern choice but I would have to order it. Then my FLAPS has several brake part greases that are "safe for rubber." I already have a bottle of Permatex Ceramic Extreme Brake Parts Lubricant (pic below) for reassembling my calipers. Should be rubber safe but not sure it is right for the job. I'm just a bit confused by all the choices. Suggestions? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Almost any non petroleum based grease will work.

You have to be careful with auto parts store silicone greases because most of them have petroleum based additives that can cause rubber to swell and degrade.

Honda sells a pure silicone grease if you have trouble finding one
