I've run poly bushings for over ten years, on at least three cars, chalking up over 200K miles on them, and never heard them squeak.

They don't squeak at all in my experience. They may have squeaked in the 70s, or maybe they do on American cars (maybe the product is made differently for other vehicles), or maybe they do if they're not lubed properly. I lube them as well as possible during installation, and then any time I happen to have them apart, but I've never had to go in and re-lube them to prevent noise.
