93 LX...new to me. Questions about Suspension, Cruise, RDefrost, Steering...
Hello. Just purchased a 93LX. Good is only 90800 miles. Not so good are the following "quirks". Brand new here and I am NOT a mechanic so excuse the untech terms below...but Thanks for any input.
When making a wide sweeping turn at ~20-45 (so Ive noticed) a loud squeeking sound, like a window going up or a dog whine. Comes from in front of the steering wheel somewhere. Steering wheel does not shake or anything. Just the noise.
When the car "bounces" over a big bump (entire car not just a wheel in a hole) I heard a loud "cha-ching". Maybe its springs? Maybe shocks? It happens when the force of the car goes down.
Cruise control switch on dash board does light up when pressed, but nothing sets with the button on steering wheel and no light on insturment cluster.
Rear Defrost switch on dash is a little quirky. Hold it a bit to turn on, hold it too long it turns back off. When 'on' it stays lit for normal time but action on rear window. Fuse in engine compartment seems fine but I have not removed to inspect closely.
Is it normal for gaps to appear in window seams on outside of car? I found some water in front passenger side floor yesterday, not a ton. But when I looked at the seam from windshield to post to hood it does look to be gapped some. Same on rear window.
Finally, the car is warm idling at ~1200 rpm. There is a sticker on the underside of the hood that specs 750 + or - 50. Can anyone link me to a good how to?
Illl search a bit also.
Thanks Again for any insight.
