I'm not suggesting "do it this way." I'm just sharing, FWIW. If a verus fork dropped into my lap, here's how I'd play it.
There are two critical flaws in the factory design.
1. The main pivot begins to creak - a violent event given the forces involved - when the socket wears into the flat face of the ball deeply enough. No amount of lube prevents that.
2. The center bushing of the TOB and that quill are a shit combination. When the fretting gets deep enough, they bind.
If the verus ball is fully spherical, I'd modify the verus fork to fit the tsk bearing.
Otherwise, I'd modify the old fork the same way I did the last time I had mine apart. I used a dremel to grind out enough of the center of the socket so none of it ever comes into contact with the flat part of the ball. It has cured the creak.
