From the manual... "Lubricating the socket joint may help reduce this noise, and is part of the required regular maintenance routine. Lubricating the L-bracket joint is optional. A better solution is a set of official Equal-i-zer brand Sway Bracket Jacketsâ„¢. They quiet the ride without the mess of using a lubricant.
The noise is also addressed on the FAQ section of their web site. http://www.equalizerhitch.com/Equal-i-zer%20Support/faqs.php

And from the Sway Bracket Jacket product description
NOTE: Utilizing lubrication on the Equal-i-zer L-Bracket, in the form of the Sway Bracket Jacket or any grease type lubricant, may lessen or decrease your sway control by a small degree.
So the Sway Bracket Jackets nor a grease type lubricant is actually 'dangerously reducing sway control' according to the manufacturer.
