Experience with polyurethane swaybar bushings?

Does anybody have any experience using polyurethane swaybar bushings on the rear swaybar of their Camry? I have a 98 XLE 4 cylinder FYI. I talked to someone at TRD today and althought they don't make them, he felt they should be available aftermarket. He cautioned me that although they are firmer, they could create some noises. That's why the question. Has anybody used them before and did you experience any noise from them?

Thanks for your replies.

Mike

lots of lube.

you should get them with a sway bar kit for ya car anyway.

it should come with lube too.

i have random poly bushes all over my car (from the super pro catalogue) and i had problems (it squeeked) with the grease they supplied so i just got some from the local mechanic and it doesnt squeek.

I gotta grease mine up again. I have a TRD RSB and they're squeaking like hell. Gotta make sure to use some teflon tape this time.
