I've never greased them and never had any issues. But I assume just a lithium grease or something along those lines would work fine.

OEM bushings can go in just as they are.
Poly bushings have to be greased or they'll groan and squeak and you have to use Lithium grease on them. Petroleum based grease will eat the bushing.
