hi my name is matt i have 2 rivieras, one isa 97 its smashed up and in my garage, the other is a 95. the 97 had alot of miles on it 192k but was running good at the time of the accident so im keeping it to take parts off it for the 95 the 97 drove alot better than the 95 or theres something wrong with the power steering and or supension it s a little stiff turning the wheel pulling away from the curb the reservoir is full and the fluid is clean could be the pump? andif so can i take the pump off the 97 and put it on the 95 they dont look the same and so they probably arent compatible does anyone have some info on this? also the abs/traction control lights are on where do i start one more thing, the trans cooler lines are leaking alittle how big a deal is this to change

there is a coolant sensor under the throttle body. there is a relay for hi and low fans. id check the relays first. theres a sensor on the rad, but thats only the level sensor. doesnt control the fans.
