Good  morning:


My '91 Carat is about to reach 100k miles and along with it is showing
some wear. I would appreciate your comments and suggestions on what to
be prepared for and specifically on the following:


1- Brakes fade when pressing the pedal firmly.  It stops in reasonable
distance, but I am uncomfortable with it.  Replace master cylinder
?......


2- Power windows.  They need assistance going up.  ????


3- Temperature light blinks constantly, but temperature does not go up.
This, even after flushing and filling the system. Sensor ????


4- Steering rack is leaking.  A four-inch spot daily.  Replace ? wait
for bigger spot ?


5- Would like to have firmer ride. What shocks should I install ? It
rides on Michelin MXTs 205/70 R14.


Thanks,


Felix
'91 Carat
