Open your hood and spray the WD-40 all around the lower steering shaft over night. Just spray and turn the wheel and just keep spraying.
In the morning you will notice that the steering wheel is just like new. Now open the hood and spray that white lithium grease and just keep turning the steering wheel. Leave it for an hour or so.

It will fix it. At least it did mine. It's been about 2-3 weeks since I did it, and it still works like a charm. Saved my ass $600 :happy anim:
Awesome I will try this today. I flushed my power steering fluid over the weekend. Just got the car 3 weeks ago and fluid was low and while checking it noticed that somewhere down the line someone put in ATF and the cap clearly states use CHF 11s. now the steering is a little stiff, but it was also before the flush.
