Post 95 SC300 Looking for info

Hey, everyone! I'm new (account wise) to the forums and figured I could introduce myself and possibly ask some questions while I'm at it.

Roughly a month ago I sold my 97 Saab 900 turbo to my brother so I could start making payments on a 95 SC300. I love the car, low miles (to me) At just hitting 120k yesterday, no driving problems, and it seems to be going great.

Only problems I have ran into so far mechanical wise is my CEL is on and it's either the EGR or camshaft sensor no.1 (I had to use a jump pin because nowhere has OBD1 around here) and I'll soon be fixing it hopefully. Getting information on when the timing belt was last serviced so I can possibly buy a new timing/water pump set for it.

Also, my turning radius when turning left is significantly wider than when I turn right. My wheel turns about 1 1/2 times to the left and almost a full 2 turns right.

Sadly it has the annoying radio draining problem and I was curious about possible fixes for that as well because as much as I like my exhaust, some music would be nice now and then!

Any info about said things would be greatly appreciated! And yes, I know, use the search function...I have and searched a few times for certain things and haven't really found a straight forward answer.

Does it track straight when the steering wheel is straight?I'd lift the car up and take a look at the steering rack while someone else turns the wheel. Check for any leaks around the dust boots over the inner tie rods. I imagine there must be an obstruction or the steering rack was removed and re-installed improperly.

It goes down the road, straight, with no problems. I'll probably get under and look better once my friends dad gets a new shop building and have some spare time
