I thought we weren't supposed to lubricate the brackets where the bars are inserted. Doesn't that reduce the "anti-sway" ability?
I don't lubricate the brackets. The nylon sleeves that fit over the brackets reduces noise while maintaining enough friction for sway control. I lubricate moving parts at the hitch head as well as the ball. Greasing the top of the sway bar receivers helps minimize wear....they pivot on turns. At least on mine, the black paint has worn off and there is an area of bare metal, so I apply grease to that surface.
