RE: More '90 CQ steering help needed

["Duff, Ian" <iduff@charter.com>]

Your Pentosin reservoir has a max and min marked on the side, like you
can actually see it thru the other stuff mounted there. My wife's old
'87 5KSQ usta groan like you describe when the Pentosin was getting low,
even just a teeny bit.

The bomb, inaccessible as it is, does not have any bearing, other than
karma, on steering. Mine is also dying, as is Peter Schulz's, and, I
suspect, every CQ  in the States that hasn't had it replaced yet.

Bob D'Amato's 90Q20v also musta been on that boat ride, cause every time
his burps, so does mine.
