More questions...

While driving on the highway, between 50 & 55mph I get a vibration hum
coming from the front of the car ('85 Westfalia).  It disappears as soon as
you drop below 50 or above 55.  The car was diagnosed as having torn boots
and lose CV joints (ball joints? difference? I don't have the exact
paperwork with me), which I assume is causing the problem (it also has blown
shocks which I'm going to be replacing in about a week).  My question is,
what will the degradation of these parts lead to?  Steering problems or
steering failure?

Also, following posted advice, I'm going to switch the ignition switch on
the van, hoping that will solve the problem of my enging continually dying.
The question is, what exact parts am I looking to replace?  I just don't
want to walk in somewhere and be sold a whole new electrical system...or at
least be told that I need one.  And again, if anyone knows the basic
procedure for this operation (which I'm sure isn't that hard), I'd love to
get a rundown.

thanks much,
Connal
