    If it's a "dry" coating once applied, I'd say go for it. The reason you don't want to use a "wet" lube is because it will attract small particles of dirt and grit that could work it's way into the Teflon liner in the uniball cup and case premature wear. I've never seen or heard of a uniball having a catastrophic failure so the worst thing that could happen is you'll have premature wear and maybe a little slop in the joint as opposed to a ball joint that could actually break or sever.
    FWIW, I use Tri-Flow which goes on as a liquid and dries to a waxy consistency and sometimes PB brand dry lube, which sprays on as a liquid and dries to a powdery finish.
