bold LET THE REPAIRS BEGIN!
The first repair is to the rack / as in Rack & Pinion Steering. After observing the power steering pump res. go empty several times in a week I was forced to take the car to a mechanic to check out the problem. Unfortunately I could not raise the car high enough to be able to do the work myself.
RESULTS: New rack = $180.00
Labor... = $300.00
4 Whl.Alg. $ 79.00

TOTAL $597.00
(Includes all taxes and fluid costs).
Total cost of vehicle now = $2,197.00
NEXT PROJECT / AC REPAIR & CONVERT
OK, Don't let the local AC shop play with your AC system and charge you Megga $$$ if you aren't getting cold AC. Run down to your local parts store and buy a retro-fit 134-A kit and convert your system for $29.00!
Yep, $29.00 and about 15 min. of your time. Also, don't believe the B.S. about taking your car in to have the syst. evacuated. Just get an oven mit from the wife and a long screw driver. Remove the cap from the high side port of the compressor / slowly press in on the valve with the screw driver and when the hissing stops, your system is purged. Next clean the port threads with a rag, screw on the supplied adapters, connect the recharge hose to the low side and two to two and a half cans later your AC will be cold as can be and way more effecient than ever!
GOOD LUCK!
