Subframe bushings grease

I'm going to install the Whiteline rsfb's soon. Two small packets of grease came with the kit. The instructions say to spread it on the inside diameter of the bushings where the metal tubes go.

Did you apply any grease to the outside of the bushings?
If so, did you use the supplied grease and was it enough?

thanks in advance

You want to bushing to grab on to the subframe so no grease there.

Already did it and put a little of the supplied lub on the bushings. The instructions said to lubricate the ID of the bushings and "lightly grease face of all bushings". I called Whiteline and they confirmed this. The rep said with poly and metal contact squeaks were common and a little grease would avoid this.

Thanks for responding
