    Turbo gone???

    along as the bearing housing is in good shape your good just make sure there's no burs or little piece's that might come off and fly around in the intercooler and maybe further past that. i'm not sure on the turbo's on these but on mitsubishi turbo's the bearing is on the exhaust wheel just...

    Power steering issues

    you can try a flush of the system first thats the cheaper way but it sounds like the pumps about to go. you cooler could be clogged and causing the fluid to boil. try flushing the system but make sure you go in reverse of the system flow to try and clear it out or have a radiator shop do it...

    late 99 550 trans and diff question

    late 99 550 trans and diff question

Also anyone know what rear the 550's came with that might help me find a new ring and pinion...
