just wanted to confirm some solutions. i was having some front end slop in the suspension area. the solution was bad sway bar bushings, worn intermediate shaft on drive column, new track bar that was defective and when the new one was put in, it wasn't torqued enough. it calls for 130 ft/lbs for the end on the pass side, and that's exactly what it needs and no less!!!

the brake system was drinking fluid, and it turned out to be the master cylinder leaking fluid into the booster. the booster kept almost half a gallon.

much thanks for all the help--who's better than guys on the forum??
