First of all I want to thank eveyone that contributes to this forum. It has saved me LOTS of money!!

The front passenger side cup holder has, after reassembling many times, broken beyond repair. I haven't looked at this much but I need it replaced. Anyone do this before? Any place I can buy one at a good price?

I also have been experiencing clunking from the front passenger side while turning left at low speeds and while coming to a stop. Probably a coupling problem in half shafts (or whatever the correct term is). Just looking for the right order of diagnosing this problem. Where should I look first?

I also have an issue with the rear license plate mounting. The scews are seized and a couple of the "threaded nut spacer thingys" are spinning free. Is there a way to remove these without taking of the interior panel?

If it is not proper to have multiple questions in one thread I appologize.
