<E30> enigne noises - update

["Money, Jon" <JMoney@xxxxxxxx>]

hello everyone,

well, many people sent responses regarding the engine noises i reported.
they recommended using a stethoscope type instrument to track it down -
which i had done.  after some further investigation i feel it is not the h20
pump (or alternator) as it is operating quite smoothly even when i hear this
noise very clearly.  ironically, it turns out that there are 2 noises!  one
i have determined to be the power steering pump.  is this a fairly easy
replacemement?  i have checked the fluid level and it seems okay so i guess
it is going.  i believe the other noise is the fan as it seems to come and
go when the engine is hot and is not nearly as loud when cold.  i am going
to have it looked at by a mechanic to verify my thoughts though.  i will let
everyone know how it turns out.  thanks for all the help!!  much
appreciated.

regarding control arm bushings - do i need one set of 2 per C/A or one set
of 2 per pair of C/A's?  thanks!

regards,
