Default Hotchkis Sway Install ?

Hey guys,
I just got the Hotchkis sways delivered and I was going to install them tonight. I was looking at the included instructions and it says to lubricate the bushings with the supplied silicone grease. I couldn't find any grease in the box though. Could I just use regular all purpose automotive grease instead or would this break the bushing down?
Thanks,

Regular grease will work but will dry up much faster. Double check the box. It comes in little white tubes. If it is missing, I would either wait and call Hotchkis or get some Mobil 1 synthetic grease at an autoparts store.

Thanks Steve. Nice wheels BTW. After I saw the pics in the your thread a while ago. I got the same. I think they look better on my black G though. J/K http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4287389923

I got mine Thursday to and I couldn't find the grease either.

Mine came with the grease, but I also wrapped the swaybars with teflon tape at the bushing locations.
