There is a problem right^^ please through that crap in the trash and start using a lubricant. I hate how WD40 is advertised as a penetrating lube/ lube/ de-greaser, the truth is it was designed to displace water Water Displacement 40 and it is a crappy lube worthless as a penetrating lube but decent as a de-greaser which is why whatever it touches ends up rusting or wearing prematurely unless you apply that garbage as you say "periodically".
