The only thing they’re half ok for is buying tires Valve cover gasket leak doesn’t mean crap on an older Japanese vehicle. Most likely you’re hardly loosing any oil. Just check your oil level occasionally and add if needed. Sometimes simply tightening down the valve cover fasteners will stop or at least slow the leakWheel bearing huh? Is is howling going down the road? Again on a cheap older vehicle I wouldn’t sweat it unless it’s screaming at you Tie rod should be cheap and easy for a mechanic to replace. But in my experience bad tie rods don’t cause a shimmy while going straight down the road. They’re more likely to make popping sounds while turning and cause steering slop, possibly darting after hitting a bump at speed, etc If it shimmies at 65mph it’s usually just tires. Keep driving it and either stay below or above the speed where it vibrates</blockquote>
