What kind of lube or grease do I need for rack bushing?

I bought some rack and pinion & sway-bar Energy Suspension bushings and I'm going to try to install them over the next few days.

I am a complete newb and this will be the first thing I have ever done to my truck besides replace the horns

I bought a jack and jackstands.
Got a bunch of tools.
Still need to get a torque wrench today.

I've read a few FAQs on replacing these bushings and they recommend lubing the bushing before you put them in ... but what kind of lube and where do I get it? (checker autoparts?)

Thanks in advance!
