Yes.
When I installed the Progressive 465 rear shock over the winter I also removed, cleaned and re-greased the rear linkage. The bearings were sparingly lubricated, with just enough grease to keep them from rusting provided that they were not submerged in water. This was at 9200 miles, on mostly paved road riding with a little gravel thrown in the mix. No off road whatsoever.
