Yes, go light for sure! Mine is white also. I was trying to remove a stain and ended up removing more! I know people advise against this, but I use bleach on everything white. It comes out beautiful! Been doing it for years.
I think it’s the cable too. Mine had the same symptoms and I also removed the pin to isolate the problem and thought it moved just fine. I researched a lot but finally bought and installed a new cable and the problem was gone.
I agree. I had the same situation last year and although there were no visible signs of wear, and I kept thinking that the power steering should overcome the stiff feeling, replacing the cable did the trick.
