Sil-glyde is designed specificly to lubricate rubber parts that ride on metal parts. Great stuff

If you're local NAPA doesn't carry it - from another builder: white lithium grease mixed with graphite. Hard to measure properly (fluid/liquid & a powder) but make it so it's a nice, even gray "putty" - kind of like softened butter. Slather inside the bushings, clip on, mount the bracket & call it done.
