Brake push rod assembly lube?

1 Attachment(s)

My instinct says these should be lubed. I used brake grease for the pedal sleeve/shaft, but that might attract too much dirt under the hood. I think graphite may have a place here, though I'm not sure they were even lubricated.

These are for power brakes (71ish), not sure what manual looks like....Thanks.

For what worth, per the assem. manual the area is not lubed.

I've redone a few vehicles and have never lubed these parts...no issues. If you want to lube it, graphite would be the way to go every few months depending on how often it's driven/washed etc.
