Grease on the ball?
A friend we camp with always puts grease on his trailer ball. He says I should do it as well. Is this a good idea?

I do grease the ball but I did not see anything in the Blue Ox manual about using grease on the torsion bar sockets.
I think I will try some silicone dry lube on them.
Here is a quote from p.6 of the Blue Ox SwayPro owners manual.
"Maintenance
Grease both grease zerks on the front of the bar pivot before each use. We recommend molybdenum grease. Wipe away excess grease after
application.
Periodically grease the hitch ball with molybdenum grease.
Should the hitch head thumbscrew stick, apply silicone spray."
