Good opportunity to take the fork down & service the bearings & races.

Takes (me) some trial-n-error to put it all back together & get the headset solidly tight but not binding.

If the grease in there is hardened & dried out, then you should look to service the wheel bearings & bottom bracket too. Don't fear; the Schwinn is the easiest bike made for DIY-ers.
