I've had my Companion hitch since 2015. Twice a year I crawl under the truck and soak the block, spring & rod with lithium grease. Also spray the moving parts of the jaw. Then 4-5 pumps of grease into the grease fitting under the head. I have noticed that the paint has flaked off of the turnover ball frame under the truck but minimal rust, so I spray it with a rust inhibitor.
That is all that I ever do and have never had an issue.
That is about when I got mine, but I haven't sprayed the underside with grease. It still works perfectly every fall when I take the hitch out. I do grease the top side a few times a year like they recommend.
I also have never had to replace anything on my hitch, and would replace it with the same thing in a heartbeat if anything happened to it.
