Does anyone have problems with their brakes squeeling when the veh's hot? I think the rotors need to get turned, eventhough they dont look that bad..And also the steering seems to "pop" when making turns at low speed. Also the AC doesnt seem to work all the time, the clutch will engage on and off as it feels like..lol I need help!!

Brakes- rear or front? Sounds like you should first check the pads, and replace as needed and have the rotors turned. A rotor can appear smooth but at the same time could be warped from heat build up.

Clicking steering- may be from a strut mount bearing gone bad especially if you feel the clicking through the steering wheel. Could be a CV joint also.

Maybe this will get you in the ballpark, but there are many people on here that know more about these things than I do, but I hope this helps.
I have no idea about the A/C, mine will cool fantastic until I get a studder which I think is caused by a bad coil and then it will stop blowing cold air. Sometimes I can turn mine off for a few miles of driving and then turn it back on and it starts to blow cold again.

Thanks for the reply. It sounds like the right front. I just noticed this, the pedal seems to "drop". Like I'd come up to a stop light, I'd ease down on the brake pedal, and it'd just have this quick "drop" movement, for like half an inch, the abs light would then come on, and the annoying squeal would be more apparent and frequent. A mechanic hooked up an ABS scanner to it and he said the right front and right rear speed sensors are bad. But how could that affect my braking??

I think the clunk might be the cv joint since I see grease all over the suspension on the driver side...
