:frown:Howdy,

I have a Honda Harmony 2013; love it and use it hard but...........after a long wet winter the steering is frozen. I've pulled the steering wheel, oiled and lubed everywhere and disconnected the tie rods and loosed the wheels. All to no avail. It seems to be frozen..wheel turns 1/4 inch or so but at the gear junction with the arm plate it seems to be frozen. Everything moves freely except at the wheel as the steering rod/column meets the gear to turn the plate that turns the tie rods.
Make me think that there is something binding or even some kind of lock that i'm not aware of ???
Thanks,
Daniel

Here's a parts illustration that shows the main bits, and ought to help you narrow down what is stuck/frozen:
