Wonderful things to wake up to on a weekday!!

So, couple major issues! I wake up this morning to come to figure out that my heat doesnt work! the fan is pumping at 90 but yet its still blowing out cold air untill I start driving the car..So im pretty much heating up my interior with the heat that the engine is pushing out to the firewall! Also, my car takes like a half hour to warm up? I havent touched the coolent since I got the car, I think it might be a good time for a coolent flush! Ontop of that, a friend of mine pointed something out to me the other day in the car..It was silent and we were pulling out of his driveway and he heard two things that I have been noticing also...#1 theres a knocking from the axle or CV shaft whenever I turn my steering wheel hard to the right. turning with the steering wheel to the left is real loose feeling and when I turn right its real sharp...#2 whenever its silent in the car and I take off from a light or stop sign you can hear water flushing through something..Mostly it's on the passanger side and it just sounds like theres water being flushed through the front of the car towards the back. Water pump? Kind of wierd..I had my eibach and KYB gas shocks and struts & lower right control arm put on in June, I got an allignment and tire rotation at the same time due to obv suspension reasons but it seems as though I have been getting a lot of allignments done so thats what makes me think my axle is def screwed up becuase my allignment should not be getting that bad so quick, checked the boots and everything looks good there.. I barely drive the car because of the screwed up tranny, but now its such a rough ride whenever I hit the slightest crack in the road it feels like a roller coaster!! so why is it screwing up so quickly? Heres the diagram that town fair tire gave me to show how bad my allignment was before they did it when I got the springs, shocks and control arm replaced and after.


Now that allignment was about the 3rd in about 4 or 5 months that I needed (even before replacing the springs struts and shocks)..I've been getting them done at pep boys and town fair tire..I havent seen anything on the forum lately about the TSB about our steering wheels being slightly off to the left (not centered)..I wanted to know if I should just stop going to these smaller shops and just go to the dealership to get one and see what they will due about the steering wheel being off. I heard they actually do the allignment with the computer as they are actually driving the car at high speeds..? Im thinking it might be worth it..Any help from you guys would be appreciated..Thanks!

Ohhh and by the way I think its time for some new bushings and endlinks for the car, any suggestions on a brand preference for bushings?

Regarding the lack of heat, there are lots of threads on this topic, but . . . . . u need to park the car on the incline of your driveway, make sure the engine is cool, open the radiator cap, fill the radiator with coolant/distilled water mixture (I use about 50/50) and the problem will be solved.
