Well, you can have a joint with dry grit/dust or with oiled grit/dust. I would still go for the latter. Perhaps if you use a spray like WD40 you may rinse the joint clean and lubricate at the same time. Problem is: WD40 lubricant does not last very long.

I have only received 3 replies & all 3 recommend some form of lubrication. I am somewhat surprised. I anticipated a split (50/50) decision. Considering the dirty, dusty, gritty environment that the unsealed linkage ball & sockets operate in, I thought some would suggest the it is better to not have any lubricant that would trap & hold the abrasive particles. Does anyone agree with this?

   A drop of oil  now and then is a good idea on any car bar when  ball sockets are nylon/plastic. Kees Oudesluijs

     A little lube never hurts. Wheel bearing grease is the most persistent.
