I had an old chevy impala that would "pop" when I made a tight turn at low speed. Yeah, it was the bushings, upper control arm to be exact. Not very expensive part but bitch to get in. As for overheating, I just went through this problem and found source. Right underneath the distributor is a "upper return hose", it's L shaped and about 4" long. It had split, so it must of closed when not running as I could not find a leak. This is also a little hard to get to but not that bad. Piece costs 6 bucks and buy two new worm screws, if that's your problem. This little hose is very tucked away from sight, so yeah, do compression check, will help find that leak. Good luck. I have an 89 NA that runs great, but every other week, some little thing is going wrong. Must say I'm learning a lot though.
