Question With Servo

Hi, I am having problems with the JD robot's left foot/ankle servo. It doesn't seem to move as freely as the others. I first noticed when having the robot walk. When I manually try to move it, it feels stiffer than the other servos. Is this just a bad servo that needs to be replaced or are there any tricks that a I can use to fix it myself? Thanks
