couple quick questions
Ok, so I got my Fiero back on Friday. ANd I had a few questions that didnt get answered over at Old Europe......its been sitting for 3 yrs, and whenever I go over a bump it creaks like an old man. Is that just bad balljoints? the chassy not lubed?......also, its VERY hard to steer. I dont remember it being near this hard to turn when I had it last. 2 hands is hard, one is out of the question......and last one, the cam I want to install has some surface rust. Can I put it in a hot tank and install it, or is it fucked? Thanks for any input.

Probably your ball joints. I had a creaky front suspension in my Fiero, and when I greased the upper ball joints, water came out of the boot, shortly after the ball joint went bad.
Also, my work truck, a Dakota had a badly creaking front end, it would creak when you turned the wheels, and even when you got out of the truck, it was the lower ball joints.
Probably also why your steering is stiff. I would plan on replacing some ball joints in the near future.
