krp apparently doesn't believe in checking the obvious stuff first, as
I got roundly abused for focusing on the brakes when the OP repeatedly
mentioned a hot wheel.  He's now in the killfile.  (well, not really,
as this thread is x-posted so much that I can only reply through
google groups - but I just won't read any more of his posts.) It
doesn't even matter that the problem apparently wasn't the hoses; it's
bad procedure to not check the obvious, likely causes first.
Replacing the hoses was the right thing to do, whether or not that
solved the problem, as any hoses installed in '93 have exceeded their
design life, and given the symptoms presented were the most obvious
cause of the symptoms described.

I just feel bad for the OP who has to put up with all this back and
forth...

To the OP - do you have the ability to quickly jack up the front of
the car while the symptoms are presenting themselves?  If so, please
post back, there's some things I'd like you to try.
