If you look at the rudder tube (that surrounds the rudder post), there is a grease cup. Unscrew it, and fill it with grease. then screw it back on and give it a couple of turns as someone turns the wheel from one extreme to the other. In most cases, that's all it takes to make the helm smooth again.
