Maybe. Maybe not. But it is easy to tell:
If you have the TSB problem, it will ONLY make the noise when you turn. If you go straight, there will be no noise. Bumps also have nothign to do with this.
If your suspension squeaks regardless of wether or not you are turning then it's not the TSB (or maybe you have two different problems). The TSB issue is ONLY when turning. So a straight-line squeak or a squeak when going over a bump is something other than the diff.
Silicone grease is available from all the vendors of poly suspension parts: Prothane, Energy Suspension, and so on. Many of the dealers that sell parts with poly bushings also sell the grease. I bought my tube from BMR. You can also get it from an industrial supplier like Drago, Grainger, McMaster-Carr, MSC, and so on.
Overgreasing is unlikely to hurt anything, but itdoes make a mess. Wipe off any extra grease that"squirts out"..that way it won't sit there and collect dirt.

dont grease anything. i guarantee you it's the rear moan/groan that the TSB will fix. has to do with the limited slip diff. and stuff, nothing you can fix. don't waste your time, TSB it...although i got the TSB done, and my problem has returned, so i am not confident that this will fix the issue...

RE: UGH WTF!!
When I had my Motive 4.10s installed I got it home and it sounded like thr rear wheels were going to fall off the car, squeeking, grinding, moaning and groanig!!! Very loud!!and a slight gear whine. Took it back and we figured out it was the limited slip differential, origionally he used amsol so he added some synthetic additive, this got rid of 50% of the noise, but it was still there!! I searched this forum and found it was pretty common occurence with Motives to different degrees. NOW, The solution - Royal Purple. Ihad my guy pull the plate and drain the rear and reload it with R/P and now ALL the noise is gone! VERY happy, NO LSD noise OR gear whine!!
