If your thinking of using the Heim style, they can be had with oil impregnated bronze bearing surface.
Or a PTFE liner instead.
The HEIM joint wipes the bearing surfaces clean when it moves.

If you use a non-stud type HEIM joint directly bolted with a bolt in the eye, then the movement will be restricted.
Use the stud style HEIM joint.

As inexpensive as they are, I would not use the greaseable type. Your just inviting dirt and grit to hang on the part that does not work well with such.
