Dry lubrication is an option...such as dry silicone or teflon spray. We use to use it on an application where nylon
traveled along a chromed rod...the chrome gave a very smooth surface that did not grind at the nylon. Check to make sure
 the sway bar has a smooth surface. Below is a link to Teflon spray...sprays on wet to penetrate but drys so it does not attract dust and dirt.

John is correct on the mounting of the sway bar and shimming it so it is neutral. If you don't its like taking an extra few turns
on the spring perch on adjustable shocks....it gives more pre-load to one side and less to the other. Makes for odd
handling.
Best Regards,
