Multiple Issues: Suspension, Pwr Steering, And Seat Related!

I've had my 94' LS400 for a few years, and I have a few minor annoyances.

1. The car creaks when I come to a stop, and the steering sometimes makes popping noises in parking lots. What suspension parts should I look at first?

2. My power steering is leaking into the intake manifold, and smokes like a freight train most mornings. Can I plug the vacuum line, and if I can... which vacuum line is it from the top?

3. The rear end has a thud when I shift from Drive to Reverse, or when going over speed bumps. Any places to start looking?

4. I'm missing the trim right in front of the drivers rear wheel well, and I need to source the parts. Also anyone know what the color codes are for my car?

5. My drivers seat is crooked, and the seat won't recline straight. Do I need to find a replacement seat, is it something repairable, or do I need to find a specific part?

I'll be putting the car on jack stands this weekend, but I'd like to have a few places to start. I need to get the car in for an alignment, and I know that before that I'll need to replace a few bushings/arms/ball joints.

Thanks!

Steven

Steven, lots of issues there and many of them have been covered in fairly good detail over the years. I would suggest getting familiar with the search engine feature of this site and sitting down in your favorite EZ chair for some reading. That's what most of us would have to do to answer your questions. I know I have seen many of your issues posted, I just do not recall the details without a search.
