Greasable Front Sway Bar Bushing
See the attached diagram for an idea to use the greasable sway bar bushings from Energy Suspension. People have modified (diameter milled out to 18mm and a notch cut out for the passenger side) the non-greasable bushings and mounted them using the original SVX mounting bracket. This bushing can be modified the same way. But, in order to be greasable, you have to use the included bracket which has a zerk fitting on top. I'm thinking that bracket can be used if spacers are used between the mounting bracket and the bracket on the car. The picture is not to scale and the spacer/washer probably wouldn't need to be very thick. The issue is that the bracket on the SVX isn't straight and bends away from the bushing. As such, the mounting bracket needs to be longer than the height of the bushing to reach down to the bracket on the car. But, perhaps, a simple washer can fill that gap.
