The Octagonal guys are correct.  But only if you don't properly lubricate 
them.  I lub'd my poly bushings with a heavy silicone grease for a 
squeak-free ride.  The first time I used polyurethane bushings on the TR6 they 
squeaked quite vociferously.  Eventually I disassembled the suspension and applied 
the grease and quiet prevailed.

But as Phil points out, the rubber are not supposed to rotate, they deform. 
 If yours are squeaking they have dried up and turned hard and need to be 
replaced.  But the rubber are a bit tricky to install.  The poly bushings 
either go in properly or they don't go in at all.
