Fluid level should be checked on a level surface and

with the engine off to prevent injury from moving

parts and to insure accurate fluid level reading. Do

not overfill. Use only manufacturers recommended

power steering fluid.

If necessary, add fluid to restore to the proper indicated

level. With a clean cloth, wipe any spilled fluid from all

surfaces. Refer to Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts

for correct fluid type.

MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE

Front Suspension Ball Joints

The ball joints originally supplied with the vehicle are

permanently lubricated at the factory and do not require

service. The ball joints and seals should be inspected

whenever the vehicle is serviced for other reasons.

Steering Linkage — Inspection

Whenever the vehicle is hoisted, all steering linkage

joints should be inspected for evidence of damage. If

seals are damaged, parts should be replaced to prevent

leakage or contamination of the grease.
