So, my lumina has some problems.
i think the control arm bushings are worn.
The struts are in need of replacement.
I think all the engine / trans mounts are bad.

the rack and pinion leaks

the transmission makes a wierd bearing noise. is it worth fixing?

depends how much you love your car, how much you wanna spend, and how much a new one is. we cant tell you what your money is worth or what you love. its all on you man.

but if that was all wrong with my car, i would get a new one.

Thats not much work, i wouldnt get a new one over it. sheeesh no wonder so many nice cars go the junk yard, people think little things are huge.

Struts wont cost more than 150 bucks for all of them
The Motor and trans mounts are cheap, and not THAT bad to replace
The rack you could try some lucas Powersteering stopleak, Works wonderful. If not a racks 100 bucks
Wierd bearing noise in the trans, just drive it
