Sway control mainteinance?
Sorry if this is a dupe. I did a quick search and didn't find anything. I bought a sway control bar from Harbor Freight last year because my old trailer acted a little squirrelly behind my 06 F-250...

You never lube the bar itself. I just looked at the Installation instructions and you are correct, they do say to "lubricate all moving parts" on P.10 of the manual. The instructions, as printed there under "after use", are wrong. They are talking about the the threads of the handle and adjustment bolt and also the balls where the sway bat attaches. They are NOT talking about the slider bar itself. I have no idea why Harbor Freight says to do so. Maybe, the manual was written by some idiot who has never towed anything in his/her life.

X2 You should wipe the dirt and grit off the slider bar but NEVER, NEVER lube the slider bar. It is like you said, would you put oil on your vehicle's brake pads?
