Is there a preferred lubricant to keep polyurethane suspension shackle
bushings from squeaking?

Is the question: Is there one polyurethane bushing grease that works
better than the others? No, all polyurethane bushing grease works about
the same. If you need some, might try a 4WD parts store. They sell a lot
of polyurethane bushings, in various colors. At least they will
understand what you are looking for.

Does anyone offer polyurethane bushings for TC front springs or must I make
my own?

Badger,
You can use MG B front suspension bushes, which require to be cut to length. I fitted them to my TC about 12 months ago.
Mine were coloured red, but that didn't concern me.

Sherwood,
I replaced the bushes as the rubber ones fitted were looking a bit perished and I had some long distance driving ahead of me. I have a panhard rod fitted to the front ( as well as the back ) so any improvement would have been masked, but the fact remains, polyurethane is much more dense than the original rubber bushes, which must reduce any tendency for sideways movement.
I also didn't notice any feel of harshness, compared to the old bushes.
