Right from the from dealer my 2014 had great easy steering. But now that it's 4 years old, while up on the lift the steering is quite stiff so I figured maybe the blocks that hold the steering post need some lube or replacement. What lube would you recommend or remedy?

They run dry, Replace the upper and lower steering post bushings. Mine need it once a season.

I bent my post down between the pipe. It rubbed just enough to make it stiff. I never crashed the sled but I do roll mine lots. Changed the post and perfect again. Check to see yours is straight.

It turns Bnorth was right. The bottom two seals within the lower block were dried up and starting to look a lil tattered but still in one piece. I greased them up and put excess grease in the cavity between new rings and it's nice and smooth again. Thanks.
