I driven with a full boot of luggage over large bumps and rises at speeds which compress the suspension a lot, and never have I come close to scraping the tie bar. For my car height, the tie bar sits within a cm or two of the front lip heightwise. Just not an issue for me at all.

If it's general purpose grease then yeah it will be fine.

I just used a socket set and try to use similar force to what I used in removal, very firm but not nearly enough to snap a bolt.
