I recommend that you periodically use spray-grease on the damper end with the spherical bearing, especially if you drive in a dusty environment. It hasn't happened often, but I've seen the bearings deteriorate pretty badly in old (>20 years) cars.

Good enough. I'll just leave the sway bar alone until it alerts me otherwise. Here's the page from SKF on maintenance for their "maintenance free" spherical bearings where they recommend cramming it with grease after it has had time to break in. The only proviso is to not use a moly grease. Mobil1 is moly free as far as I can tell and I've just been jamming it in there by hand, kind of like the way you would do wheel bearings in the palm of your hand.
