Sometimes. Squirt some silicone spray lube in there using the long extension tube. It'll help short-term. The long-term fix is to remove the bushings (main and end link), then clean and lube with lithium grease inside and out before reinstalling.

I've only used white. The main thing is to avoid a petroleum based grease.
