To grease the ball or not?
Should you grease the ball? I have been but was just recently told I shouldn't.

What are "friction bars"?
You're correct. What I should have noted was that you don't lubricate the spring arms where they meet with the L brackets & L pins. I understand other components may need periodic lubrication but not the spring arms at the L brackets where the steel on steel friction results in reduced sway. There is no mention of lubricating the hitch ball.
Again, if hitch ball lubrication is called for, why aren't we seeing this listed as a maintenance item from the factories?
Ah! Now I know what you're referring to. I was thinking of the knuckle ends on my old Reese WDH. The other end didn't offer any friction or sway control with their chains. I forgot all about the type you're referring to. Thanks for the reminder.:C
