White 1986 Honda Accord LXI Right Side View

First of all this is a 1986 Honda Accord LXI 2.0 fuel injected. I was having speedometer noises and erratic speeds, sounded like something loose on left side of car. I replaced the cable and noise went away temporarily as did erratic behavior. Both have returned. Could it now be the speedometer itself? The car has 311k miles. I should also mention that I used the lube that came with the cable instead of white lithium grease. Could that also be causing this? the original cable itself was fine, but casing was bad, bad wear places.

I tried to locate the exact area of the leak/spray while it was running in neutral but it does not spray unless it is under a load. i.e: driving up hill. I am worried and need a direction. Could it be a leaky distribute seal, camshaft seal or neither?

Red 2004 Dodge Dakota Right Side View

I have noticed that my 2004 Dodge Dakota – 4.7L V8 power steering is progressively starting to go over the last week. When I turn left or right it’s real hard as I come off the center point, then it will break free, then get hard again. It will also get stuck in the turn, not allowing the wheel to straighten out coming out of a turn. it makes for a real choppy ride. Once everything warms up it seems to go away a little bit but I can still feel it. Engine RPM does not seem to play a factor whether it is hard to steer or not (I have put gotten up to speed, put it in neutral, brought it up to 2500 RPM and tried turning and it is still stiff.) I don’t know if that is an official method of diagnosing if the pump is bad or not, but that is my problem I don’t know if it is my power steering pump or my rack and pinion.
