Where can I get the motor mounts and how much? Are they sold by sizes? If so what size do I need to get?

your local part store would probably have them in stock. and you either want to get the convertible mounts, or the 94-95 mounts... much better quality pieces

For the steering wheel play, take alook at the rag joint first

I am going to getnew motor mounts for sure. Also got under the car and got a good look at things and the rag joint is destroyed so i have to add that to the list of things to get. Also need a new rack and pinion.
