My wife was reading these posts over my shoulder giggling... blame her. :lol:
My guess is that you bought one of those $10 Chinese sort of chrome plated balls that will be peeling and rusting in no time. Get yourself a quality name brand ball, preferably stainless.
As for lube, I run an Anderson aluminum ball with the black cap that provides lubrication. Never greased a ball.
Not sure how this became a thread about grease. What I need to know is this : am I doing something that is damaging my tow ball or is it normal for it to get torn up so qukckly?
I don't see how anyone can grease on their pants. A greasy ball has to be covered.
You could always wax it with some decent car wax instead of greasing it. That's what I do. Then if you accidentally rub up against it, no big deal.
