GE top load washer - replaced shaft tube, new shaft squeeks. Normal?

I have a GE top load washer that was sounding like a jet taking off on the spin cycle. Reading here lead me to replace the shaft tube and the tub bearing while I was at it. After installing the new tube it squeaks a lot. The squeak is coming from the bearing in the new shaft not the tub bearing or the belt.

Is this a bad bearing/shaft? Will the squeak fade as it "breaks in"? Can I try lubricating it?
