Sway bar lube?

Hey guys, I managed to grab myself a used Dan Gardner sway bar. It came with endlinks and brushings. I've read on here about it squeaking sometimes when turning. What type of lube should I use on the brushings? Would it be a bad idea to spray it down with wd-40?

Some of them use teflon tape. I haven't tried this yet but sounds like a good idea.

I've heard good things about teflon tape as well, or you could use this stuff: http://www.amazon.com/Energy-Suspens.../dp/B000CN7B4I

Thanks for the replies! I think I'll give the teflon tape a try.

Well I got my bar in and I'm lovin it. I just have problems adjusting the endlinks. The little nuts securing the endlinks at the fixed position keeps on moving. It makes me paranoid when things are coming loose in my car. Anyone in the DFW area willin to help readjust?
