Default What needs to be maintained and lubricated regularly?

Just wondering what on my wife's 07 AC 400 should be lubricated and maintained regularly? I change the oil when I am supposed to and service the air filer thats about it. Her steering is hard to turn and I am wondering if there's something I should lube? Im sure everything that was factory lubricated was with the cheapest non-waterproof grease available. Thanks/

no lube anywhere required except the engine and differentials. steering post may be bent a bit,or its too tight maybe. No reason for it to be real tight.

im not sure but my guess is where the top of your plastic is. you may need to take off your plastic and look where your post goes down. Also,sometimes the paint on the post gets caught in the clamp holding the steering post and makes for a hard steering. You could also try spraying some lube down the post and see if that helps,but once you wash it ,it may do it again.
