Rear Sway bar bushings squeaking

Help,Help:
I have removed the rear sway bar bushings, cleaned them, lubed them and still they squeak.
I bought a new set of hard rubber ones, lubed them real good and still that DARN squeak persists.
I know this is where the noise is coming from, as when they are off,
"NO SQUEAK"

Update!!!!!
If this helps anyone having this problem?
I took the sway bar arm off, Cleaned and really lubed the steel bar (2) rubber bushings. Reinstalled the bar and bushings and "Walla" NO MORE SQUEAK!!
When I had the links disconnected (bar connected) no squeak, not thinking "well dummy" the bar is just sitting there with no links connected and it can't move.
It is now so quiet it's unbelievable.
Hope this helps someone.

I use Permatex anti-seize lube ( the silver crap ) and it keeps the 'squeaks' away longer than anything else I've tried.
