If your 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt has issues with the power steering, it's likely due to one of the following:
* Faulty electric power steering motor: This is the most common cause of problems. The motor itself can fail, requiring replacement.
* Steering column issues: Problems within the steering column itself can affect power steering assist.
* Electrical problems: Faulty wiring, connectors, or the power steering control module can cause malfunction.
* Software glitches: In some cases, a software update might be needed.
Instead of trying to lubricate something that doesn't need it, you should:
1. Consult your owner's manual: It may have information on diagnosing power steering problems.
2. Have a qualified mechanic diagnose the problem: A mechanic can properly identify the cause of your power steering issue and make the necessary repairs. Trying to fix it yourself could lead to further damage.
3. Don't attempt any "lubrication" on the electric power steering system. Doing so is likely to cause damage and will not solve the problem.
In short, the solution isn't lubrication; it's diagnosis and repair by a professional.
