Any grease will work. Some use Teflon tape.

Keep the urethane bushings well lubricated, and there will be no more rear sway bar squeaks.

Look into the Black, graphite impregnated bushings. I changed from Energy Suspension (Red) greasable bushings to the Black and my little RSB squeak disappeared.

In my case it was the trunk, the latch came up a little bit for some reason, one small hit with a hammer on the latch where the trunk locks to, fixed the issue, try moving your trunk up and down...worth checking if you hear noice from the rear while driving.

I think you're better off replacing the bushings, especially if you can see clearance between the bushing and the bar. The lube will quiet the squeak temporarily, but the clunk will soon follow. Urethane bushings require occasional lube, but most factory rubber ones are designed to grab the bar and twist with it. For this reason lubing most oe rubber bushings is not recommended, and can cause more wear.
