    Just take them all apart and rebuild them. No more than $50 in parts if you get all the seals and bushings and everything, not too hard if you have a manual. It should definitely have oil. Most just used ATF. If yours doesn't, tyhat's cause it all leaked out. Make sure the chrome legs are straight when you take them apart. Roll them across the floor and see if they wobble.
