that's the right idea,
though I'd use a better synthetic spray lube rather than WD-40.

the good stuff costs up to 10 bucks for a 16 oz spray can.
I like to jack up the felt  front ...
and turn the left front wheel with my foot while I dribble lube down the
turning speedo cable.
that really gets it in there well.
( assuming 2WD vanagon ) .

My speedometer needle bounces. It seems to smoothe out at higher speeds. I
was thinking about spraying some WD40 in the cable or maybe graphite. Any
thoughts?
Thanks again,
