hey fellow Saabers!
Im in the middle of doing a lot of work to my good old 1990 9000CD, and when i pulled off the fender linner to change suspension bushes, tierod ends, ball joints, and CV's i noticed that my power steering reservoir has a small crack in it and it has leaked all over my belts. The belts are stuffed big time, so im replacing those, but i dont know if i have to do anything with the tensioner. I beleive its an older style tensioner and it just looks like a spring with a rubber boot over the top of it.
My question is, is it actually a shock? does it provide damping or is it just a big spring?
And also what is the deal with maintainance/replacement of these things? should i be replacing it with my belts? or do i need to pack it with grease or anything like that?
Thanks for any help anyone can give me.
Matt
