I don’t think I was insinuating to do anything other than grease the pivot points on the head, however, since you brought it up...

Equalizer says (see the picture of an email from an equalizer engineer below) putting grease on the L brackets does not noticeably reduce sway control. They don’t recommend doing it because it is messy. They suggest buying sway bracket jackets to reduce noise at the L bracket.

I put a light coat of grease on the L brackets as well as the hitch head. I spent the $20 I saved from not buying the sway bracket jackets on gas station snacks.
