Sounds like there's no oil in the dashpots. Unscrew those little
black plastic caps on top of the domes. Lift the rods out, and drop
them back in. They shouldn't just drop down - they should 'squish'
thru a tiny pool of oil. Add 20W, a splash of engine oil (10w-30),
some Marvel Mystery Oil, or some ATF (any brand auto trans fluid).
Takes only a couple of tablespoons or so.
