I jacked up the car and took a look at the steering. I think it is OK,
but the rack was moving around, like a quarter inch up and down when I
moved the front wheels and just jiggled it, which was giving the slop in
the steering. Looks like these rubber mounting bushings are shot, cheap
easy fix, I'll order some and put them in. You can actually reach them
easily from under the car, wonder of wonders.

I'm guessing I need 4 of them for top and bottom each side? Anyone
know? Maybe they got banged in some energetic collision, but nothing
else looks buggered so maybe it is just these bushings.
If that solves the problem this might be a decent driver even with the
banged up fascia. I'll see if I can get a shot of AC juice in the
system and see if it BLOWS ICE COLD.
Hmmmmm maybe I ought be charging KLEB more for it...
It is telling me the engine needs servicing and the CEL is on, along
with some nanny telling me some light, but not which, is out. Is this
car going to need the Poos system to troubleshoot it? Or is there some
secret codes you can punch in to get it to give up lighting secrets?
And CEL codes? Will my little thingie I have for the trucks tell me
anything or do I need the German Enigma machine?
