I have several problems with my 90 mtx. For starters, the left front wheel bearing is very bad and at least the front motor mount is very bad. I just had the motor out to replace the tranny and clutch and do the 60k. The ps fluid was pretty dirty so it was changed and the brake fluid was changed also. Now for the problems. When I start the car it makes a quick horn sound but only when my foot is on the brakes. Air in the master cylinder? It didn't do that before I pulled the motor. Also, when I drive I have to pull really hard to get it to steer left of center, and when it finally goes there is a pop and then it steers easy again until I go back to center. The tie rods also need replaced and the left sway bar end link is bent. I know I need to fix a lot of things, I was curious if the symptoms I have are most likely from the problems described or can someone suggest another problem.

Munkee-if it "pops" this could be the tie rods and maybe a ball joint-but you need them now and an alignment cause it's not a safe way to cruising around and your tires will last maybe past Easter!

Yeah, it seems like once you start spending money replacing worn out parts, there's just no end in sight. I just put new greasable ball joints on my 88 GL about 6 months before the motor went. Will they fit on the sho or do I need a different part?
