Speaking of graphite =E2=80=93 is that what people are using on speedo =

Well, you can have a joint with dry grit/dust or with oiled grit/dust. I =
would still go for the latter. Perhaps if you use a spray like WD40 you =
may rinse the joint clean and lubricate at the same time. Problem is: =
WD40 lubricant does not last very long.

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.

A little lube never hurts. Wheel bearing grease is the most persistent.
