Just bought my 95SC and on the ride home the temp needle was all over the place. I also heard some "creeking and popping" when coming to a stop or turning.

Is my water pump and upper ball joints toasted?

Yep! You need upper control arms. How do the lower control arms look?
The waterpump weep hole looks more like oil than water. Have you checked the thermostat?

Reason I asked about lowers is its easier to do them both than go back and do one or the other.
 
I havent checked the thermostat, but I can. The lower ones look pretty good. The ball joint boots dont look ripped or mangled. I'll take some pics and post up.

There was water bubbling out of the weep hole.. is that what that is.. if so then enough said IM sure the water pump is on the way out.
