Default sway bar fix

My vette is squeeking so loud that I am embarassed. It sounds like my 36 ford in high school which we never lubed. Will a chevy dealer do this and what is a reasonable cost. Everythime I go to the dealer the bill at the end ruins my day, but the squeek is so irritating that passers by give me a look when they hear it. Admiration turns to disdain. What to do.

Do it yourself. It may take 30 minutes to do. Get the front end in the air (ramps, floor jack). The squeak is in the 2 rubber bushings where the sway bar is attached to the front/center of the car, just behind the bumper. Take the two bolts out, pull the metal bracket off, take the rubber out and put some lithium grease on it where the swaybar goes through. Reinstall.

Best fix is to buy some polyurethane bushings.
