If that spherical wasn't damaged before, your shop damaged it by spraying lubricant, and eliminated any possibility of warranty. It most likely wasnt damaged before, but is compromised now.

Actually there are plenty of spherical bearing types that are greaseable, though all the ones I've seen have been either two or three piece metal-on-metal. If the OPs is a 3 piece with a PTFE race, then hitting it with generic spray lube will almost certainly cause accelerated degradation.
