If it is an Equalizer WD hitch, do NOT grease the bars where they sit on the L brackets. That is meant to be a friction point to stop the sway. If you lubricate, you will nullify the anti sway feature. I cannot speak for other brands that use the chains as I do not know the technical part of how those work.
This is an incorrect statement. I have used an Equalizer for many years now and I lube both the socket heads and the L bracket face. I do this because that is what the manufacturer suggests. They do say to lube it lightly and they even have designed a plastic sleeve to fit over the L bracket. I know that it is counter intuitive and that is why I checked with the Equalizer people. A little lubrication is not going to cause a problem.

I agree with SoundGuy above. Before any kind of correct answer can be given, we need to know the manufacturer of the hitch...
Eual-i-zer (brand)
EZ lift
Reece standard
Reece Dual Cam
Blue Ox Sway Pro
generic WD (lots of them out there)

then they need to be greased.
Mine has a grease fitting as seen in the pic, but I just wipe a small amount on the end of each bar each time I hook up. When I remove them I wipe off any grease so they don't attract dirt while stored.

Pretty much standard WD hitch with flat bars, no sway control.
Well that certainly narrows it down. :S What's the big secret? ... why not just tell us the make / model of system you're using?! :h
Fact is, some systems require grease at the pivot points, some have zerk fittings to make this easier, some require a very limited application of lubrication, some spring bars hang from chains, some spring bars ride in L brackets, some spring bars deflect noticeably when properly engaged while others don't deflect at all, some spring bars are round bars while others are trunnion. ALL will have their own specific manufacturer recommendations as to the use of any lubrication, and where, so if you want to do this correctly tell us what it is! :R
