If you bounce the car by putting your weight on the rear bumper with your knee you can test the rear shocks. If the car bounces more than once on the way up you need shocks. I generally replace shocks on new cars with factory installed shocks anywhere from 40,000 - 50,000 miles. There are bolts at the top and bottom of the shocks that will have to be removed. You can do this a little easier by removing the rear wheels and placing the car on Jack Stands.

How do you add power steering pump to 95 toyota tercel

Do you need to replace an existing pump or is your car currently manual steering? If it is manual steering there will be more than just adding a pump. The actual steering rack is most likely different from a power steering unit so there would be multiple components required to convert. If your pump is faulty, you just need to disconnect the lines, remove the belt then remove the pump and install the new one. While you are doing that I would flush the old fluid out of the rack to increase life span of steering rack.

1995 Toyota Corolla 1.9 Automatic. Starter clicks, but no spin. Tested good at parts store (bench test). Cables and ground cleaned and good.

95 Corolla is either 1.6 or 1.8.

Wire the starter straight to the battery to test. If it turns, then it means the starter connections are no good.

Test the battery voltage.

Engine turns off at about 70mph, resumes at 65mph. Consistently.

THE FUEL PRESSURE TEST PORT IS ON THE METAL FUEL SUPPLY RAIL FOR THE FUEL INJECTORS, IT LOOKS LIKE A TIRE VALVE BUT METAL, U NEED A TEST GUAGE, THEY ARE CHEAP FROM KRAGEN OR AURTZONE, THIS SURE SOUNDS LIKE A PRESSURE ISSUE, U WILL HAVE TO WATCH THE PRESSURE WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS AT 70MPH
