Re: Lubricating sway bars? (71stingraybigblock)
OK I'll answer my own question since I waited a whole 5 minutes :rolleyes:
From the Addco web site. ( they actually make VBP's sway bars )

Mid-section bushing bracket should not be allowed to squeeze the bar. Over tightened bushings will result in noisy bar operation and accelerated bushing wear. If curved or uneven frame surface causes the bracket to squeeze the "D" bushing onto the bar, the bracket should be shimmed up with a washer. Synthetic brake caliper or a marine grade grease can be used on tight fitting rubber bushings. Urethane mid-section bushings must be lubed.
