You might try some of that SA Besto 2000 aerosol lube available from
professional tool suppliers or online.   It has a very penetrating carrier
and a sticky grease that works wonders on most stuff.  I use it all over in
my van...especially on stuff like my shift linkage, the suspension
bushings, cables, etc...  It is expensive, but it's a lot better than the
usual hardware store stuff.   My mechanic buddies swear by it and all the
shops I frequent have it kicking around...
