    - AMES, IA

    WHILE LUBRICATING THE FRONT STEERING MECHANISM, I NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE, FRONT HYDRAULIC LINE HAS BEEN DAMAGED (I.E., PINCHED) BY THE STEERING AND/OR SUSPENSION SYSTEM. ALTHOUGH THE LINE HAS NOT FAILED AT THIS POINT, I BELIEVE OTHER OWNERS SHOULD BE AWARE OF POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO HYDRAULIC LINES CAUSED BY STEERING/SUSPENSION COMPONENTS ON THE 1997 2.2L CHEVROLET S10.
