"Charlie" Sway bar Question / Help

Hey Gang,

I purchased my 1987 911 3.2 with what I am told are "Charlie" sway bars. From what I have read, these are really good sway bars and are no longer made? Can someone confirm that?

Secondly, there is a lot of squeaking noise emminating from what I believe is the sway bar. I took the wheels off and took a look around. The bar itself spins and I cant tell if there is some sort of bearing or a bushing etc. I can't take the plate cover off of the bar without dropping the gas tank so I could not go in for a look. I tried greasing it but not sure how much grease I was able to get in given that I could not take the plate off.

Is anyone familiar with these sawy bars? The same noise is emminating from the rear of the car so I suspect its the same problem.

If there are bushings I need to replace, can anyone tell what parts to buy and where? etc.

Thanks so much for the help gang!
