Crewzin, thanks fo rthe info. I'll go ahead and change the wheel bearings though, if they go bad often why not. Are they pressed in?

I was wondering about a tranny flush vs a change, I will have it done.

Because my SO will be driving the car mostly, I think I'd better change the fan. I know it can be unfair but a female watching the gauges? lol.

Heck, I'll end up changing the timing belt myself, it's nice to know I can put it off for a while

Yes, I have the fog lights, and they don't work at all! I thought it was the bulbs. I'll just pull the bulbs.

Hooligan, thanks for the welcome, and I'm sure I'll be posting occasionally, after some wrenchtime I might even have a comment or two!

Qs, I use synthetic in my newest car, which believe it or not is now the 2002 PT! So it gets the good oil and my old land yacht gets the crappy old petroleum based product

I pretty much rebuilt my front end, the only thing different I would of done is probably just bought the lower control arms out right from what I understand it would actually been cheaper since the labor time would of been far less but I did'nt know about until I read it here after the fact.

I still have a minor clunk that that only shows up on low speed bumps its driving the mechanic crazy because it he cannot find it but he has acknowledged it, and double and triple check his work. I think I'm going to let it go since I have a far more important issue due and that's the timing belt. which is going to run me $800+ which from what I understand is not a bad price.

Good luck, while I like the car the suspension is its weak spot
