White lithium grease for the hitch?
What do you think about using white lithium spray grease for the hitch ball and the spring bars? I've got the spray handy and don't want to open a whole tube of grease for this small job. Thanks.

the pivot area next to the hitch is 3 feet away from the contact area so I don't think I would have a prob with grease migrating from one to the other
We are talking about a standard friction control right?
The kind that has a flat steel bar that slides into 2 friction material brake pad type things?
If so, then it shouldn't be 3 feet, and the distance changes growing and shrinking with every turn. In fact it can be close to zero in a tight turn. That is how the lubricant can make its way onto the pads.
