The car holder for my GPS navigation system uses a ball-and-socket joint.
It
holds the unit without any slipping -- but no matter how much I fuss with
it, I can never get it into exactly the position I want. There's simply
too
much friction, both static and moving.

I've tried silicone spray lube, but it doesn't do much good. I've thought
of
lithium grease, but... Nah.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

I would try locksmith's dry lubricant - ground graphite or talcum powder ,
at least no solvents going to attack the plastic
