If the hole in the crossmember is worn or the head on the tie-bolt is loose within the hole, then there is an advantage because steel on steel is easy to move due to very little friction. With something creating friction between the two pieces of metal is used, then it is easier to hold the spring in one location after it is tightened.

That makes sense so I guess no grease or other lubrication would be desirable.
