I'll probably leave the power steering. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with the car. I may just flip it for some cash. If it were manual I'd keep it in a heartbeat... but its not. Yet, its a lot cleaner and its more efficient than the Sunfire... Decisions.  |
No squeaking from up front where I put the poly bushings in. I used all the grease the kit came with.
My rear suspension squeaks a lot, but I didn't do anything back there with the bushings...
I'd lean towards flipping it and using the cash to get what you actually want. I've had my '01 for 20k miles now and the following are things I've had to deal with on my car that I discovered are "common problems":
- Head gasket.
- Tranny failure.
- Compliance bushings.
- Motor mount failure.
- Seat belt latch.
- Blower motor power transistor.
And I suspect there will be more to add to the list (or maybe I'm just getting frustrated with it). I've also fixed quite a number of other things, but those I chalk up to regular maintenance (timing belt, clutch, shocks/struts, brakes, battery, etc). My repair-time to drive-time ratio is getting way out of whack on this car.
Considering the condition of the car, you should get a good price in your area. Of course, that may also be a reason for you to hang onto it...
