Default Another New Guy here.

I bought my 1995 Camaro Z28 last month and I love it!

It's Mystic Teal ( changes colors ), A4, 128K, 3.23 gears, graphite leather, Bose, etc. etc.

It's got a few problems, but I drive it every day. What a cool car.

I never thought I'd find a 95 Z28 for $900, but damn...... I sure did.

I'm in Florida. I bought the car from a stripper who posted an ad on Cars.com .

Problems seem to be the usual F-Body crap.

Whiny axle. Leaking water pump. Possible Opti gettin' funky. Slight idle misfire. A dent on the passenger side.

The only problem I am concerned with is a slight clunk from the steering when gently turning the wheel. There is some kind of looseness (less than a 1/4") in the steering rack on the driver's side link only. Anyone seen this before?

I just want to fix the problems and enjoy it. If I do mod it, they will will be minor. I'm just happy to have a car with a decent amount of power.

What's amazing is it's lack of rattles from the interior while driving. It's very solid altogether.

I am planning on replacing it this weekend.

Autozone has a cheap replacement pump for $54.99!

That's half what the other parts stores are charging....

Anyone have problems with their steering rack?
