Passed inspection. In 22 minutes.

Received a record number of comments/compliments for whatever reason. Mostly that it is a cool car and looks a lot newer than it is, and is in very good shape.

Left front tie rod adjuster was loose. There is still another clunk when jiggling the wheel across the center position. It seems to be the rack. The input shaft to the rack seems to have some play so that's nice.

There is an adjustment procedure and I'll post that as an edit. I could attempt it I suppose. Posted.

I called dealer service to inquire if my car was covered under the steering rack campaign and it sounds like the previous owner brought it in and they closed the recall in 2020. So that must mean they put that wax coating on the bolts of the rack or I guess replaced the bolts and then put the wax coating on them. If the rack was replaced then, I don't think it would have this much play.

Anyway I asked about other open campaigns and the lady couldn't find anything on the emissions recall that I think is open according to a letter I got last year. So I'm putting this here.
