The new bushings should have an outer can and an inner metal bushing so new lube required. No grease on the leaf springs, they should have slides between the leafs. I have enclosed a link that includes them.

Thanks Sheldon,

I already have the leaf springs, they are brand new from ESPO. And indeed there is a small gap with a slide between.

But what should i use to lube the bushing? I heard we must avoid grease with petroleum base...

You don't grease them. Leave them dry.
