3.8 V6 engine.
132,000 miles. Yes that is right.
Where the hell is the power steering fluid reservoir? Owners manual says
it is to the rear of the passenger side of the engine compartment. It is
not. I can't find it anywhere.
The steering feels like it is clicking or ratcheting - any ideas?
I was hoping it is just low fluid level, but I'm thinking possibly tie
rod ends?
Only noticeable during speed transitions. Not noticeable at steady speed.
Thanks.

Took it to a dealer who found the reservoir hidden below the a/c hoses
under some pump. Without direct lighting, you can''t see it.
