I know that you SHOULD unhook the leaf springs and coat the entire bushings in grease and do it that way, but is there a good spray grease that I can just use instead of taking the leaf springs out? I am not sure if my shackles have a grease fitting...I will have to check.

Wurth spray lube is fantastic. It does wear out in about 6 months of daily driving. Really quiets down rubber and urethane bushings. I have to hose down my squeaky WJ with it about twice a year.

I use motorcycle chain lube. It is rubber friendly ("O" rings in a motor cycle chain) and weathers well. It seems to penetrate well also.

I get it from a buddy who owns a repair shop, but I have googled it and there are a few places that sell their products. My buddy is a bmw mechanic and they swear by their products. They are pricey though.
