I separate and clean the ball joints/sockets once a year during =

I have only received 3 replies & all 3 recommend some form of =
lubrication. I am somewhat surprised. I anticipated a split (50/50) =
decision. Considering the dirty, dusty, gritty environment that the =
unsealed linkage ball & sockets operate in, I thought some would suggest =
the it is better to not have any lubricant that would trap & hold the =
abrasive particles.=20

Does anyone agree with this?

A drop of oil  now and then is a good idea on any car bar when  ball =
sockets are nylon/plastic.
