hi.
I see noone asnwered yet.
I think the ends of the rods have plastic pivot points in them ..that
clip onto balls ..
those are somewhat 'lubricated enough forever' ..
but I would spray those spots with a good penetirating spray grease (
how many times have I written those 3 words !? - thousands it seems. )

I would lubricated the shafts where they go through their bushings
..though that is somewhat self-lubricating.
I even lube the pivot points on the wiper arms ...
where a spring holds the wiper against the windshiled..those pivot points.

'if it moves' ...I generally lube it with 'something'. I use about6 or 8
different kinds of lubes , at least.
( Heck, I lube the ashtray hinge pivot points . or parts of the visors
that move. )

it if moves, lube it.
if it's rusty ..'treat it and paint it.'
if it's dirty, clean it.
and so on.
