i am able to steer with it but it makes a loud cluncking noise and hard as hell to steer. Is their any good grease or some type of lube you recommend.

Any lube will be only a band-aid. You'll replace the cable and/or helm sooner or later, you might consider sooner and be done with the aggravation ... :)
