Sorry it took so long to get back to this. Here are two photos of the rear sway bar installed on my '83 SC. For reference, the rear of my car has not been lowered from factory height. ('83s were delivered in the US at ROW aka euro height. My rear fender is about 25" even above the ground.)
I have not had any problem with the zerk fittings so far (2 weeks or so), but the roads around here are most smooth. The zerks are definitely one of the lowest points on the car, but since they sit between the rear wheels, it would take a pretty nasty bump between the rear wheels to hit the zerk fittings. Entering or exiting a steep driveway wouldn't do it. There are other maneuvers that might, though.
