Who was it that turned their Escalade into a pretty slick ride by blacking out all the chrome?

Another fun thing is the steering. When I got it, it was like turning a huge servo motor -- 20* of free turning, then it'd stick for 5*, all the way around. I first thought something with the power steering system, but I did some google work before digging in and found that Toyota had a big problem with the joints it used in the steering column. A quick dousing of the joint just past the firewall with some TriFlow lubricant I use on bike chains and... bam, as smooth as it should be.


My parents '05 Sienna does this. They just stop by the local oil change shop, hand the guy a can of spray lube and that takes care of the issue for about a year or so.
