Would you use elbow grease to lube a muffler bearing...   ?

Many car exhaust systems use a "ball joint" type connection to allow the
exhaust to flex as the engine rocks back and forth. Since this ball joint
allows relative motion between 2 different exhaust pieces you could in
theory call this a bearing.
