Hi Dave,

Could you be more specific with your description. Are you referring to the
rose joints, the bushings supporting the steering shaft? If so, the usual
problem is that the shaft rotates within the bushing, wearing the shaft.
Ideally, the shaft should remain fixed with the bush doing the rotating.
It's a common problem for the bush to get dry and stop rotating. Usually by
the time you realise it, no amount of oil will persuade the bush to resume
it's job. The solution is to replace the rose joints and sometimes the shaft
as well if it's too worn.

Regards,
