WD-40 isn't actually a true lubricant. WD stands for "water displacing" and its main use is as a solvent or rust dissolver.
The lubricant-like properties of WD-40 come not from the substance itself, but from dissolving components and the effect doesn't last. It also tends attract more dirt to stick to the components.
If you go to LCI's site you will see they don't list WD-40 as an appropriate lubricant. Lubricants with PTFE are what is recommended.
I personally would not use WD40 on any moving part as a lubricant.
