You two are talking past each other on two different subjects. The round end of the bars that insert up into the hitch should be lubed. The friction sway control surfaces should not.

There are no round bars involved and they do not insert up into the hitch head. They are square bars and insert horizontally into brackets that are bolted on to the hitch head and serve as friction surfaces when the hitch is used. Those friction surfaces should be greased - both to reduce wear and to prevent unecessary noise. No grease is needed on the bars themselves where they insert into the brackets.
