The CV boot and the boot that covers the inner tie rod was messed up because of the fluid (at least that is what I think). I have had a small vibration in my steering wheel that got a little better when I replaced my axles (they were popping anyway) but it is still there. Tonight I got out there and decided to take the inner tie rod off and see if it was the problem but it seemed good and tight. I looked at the controll arm and I think that is the problem...not sure how to check them but I took the nut of the end and the rubber is kinda tore on the edges but looks to still be centered. I guess the fluid got to the control arm bushings too. Oh well There is a low milage se at a local junk yard I may try to get the arm from to see if it helps at all. sorry so long just wanted to gripe because I am tired of the little things with this car. I have had no suspension problems with my GXE and it has way more miles on it and is a 90 model(its not on Eibachs though). Michael
man I am about ticked at my car and the previous owner(not really but he could have saved some aggrevation). when I first got the car it had a small leak at the power steering hose which I fixed with a $1 hose and $1 hose clamp and about 10 minutes of my time but the damage was done already because he left it leaking for a while.
