The other issue is the power steering.when i gun it hard in 1st gear the steering becomes heavy or stiff for about 1 to 2 sec then goes back to normal...even during some turns.....is this normal?

For the plug on the upper control arm, soak it down real good with a penetrating oil and try to put some heat to it and it should come loose.
