234 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE Before removing the reservoir cap, wipe the outside of the cap and reservoir so that no dirt can fall into the reservoir. The power steering pump has a dipstick. Fluid level should be maintained at the proper level indicated on the dipstick. If the indicated level of power steering fluid is low, see your authorized dealer. With a clean cloth, wipe any spilled fluid from all surfaces. Chassis Lubrication Front Suspension Ball Joints There are two front suspension lower ball joints that are permanently lubricated. Inspect these ball joints whenever under-vehicle service is done. Steering Linkage Inspect tie rod ends whenever the vehicle is serviced. They are permanently lubricated and do not require periodic lubrication. Drive Shaft Universal Joints Your vehicle has four constant velocity universal joints. Periodic lubrication of these joints is not required. However, the joint boots should be inspected for external leakage or damage when other maintenance is performed. If leakage or damage is evident, replace the universal joint boot and grease immediately. Continued operation could result in failure of the universal joint due to water and dirt contamination of the grease. This would require complete replacement of the joint assembly.
