Tight ignition when cild

[thstone]

My car does the same. My mechanic told me it was caused by the mechanical portion of the igition switch which interlocks with the steering wheel. His diagnosis was that it would keep getting worse until it would be nearly impossible to turn.

I have to think that there must be something that could be lubricated in there to make it work better but I do not have a solution yet. I was going to mess around with it tomorrow afternoon.
