that's very true., it also leads to a borken speedo calbe. Usually if it's two peice the shorter bit.
seemed to hit both my mazd'as at 110,000km's but recnelty got bouncing speedo again Can't decide to put on new ones for just wait for it.
Oh but you can relube them. With what depends. I used graphite grease and 2 bar of compressed air on lazer cable and same thing on a old WB ute.
both cars never came back - both probelry scrap now.
If you can pull the whole thing out a number of different lubes out there.
