Need help troubleshooting my 9000.....

Hi all. I have a few questions for the board here that I need help on. I have an '87 9kt with 151k miles on it that exhibits the following behavior.
1) Erratic idle problem. Cleaned the AIC, checked vacuum lines (replaced one of 'em) and it got better but still fluctuates between 500-1000rpm, especially when cold. Slightly better idle when warm but still fluctuates.
2) Steering wheel has clunk when turning right. I've been reading the board and I see the most common culprit is a bad rack but how do I t/s this to make sure? The u-joint on the column "looks" OK and it turns left perfectly. Problem is BAD when cold and gets slightly better when warmed up a bit. Thinking flushing the P/S fluid might help or am I doomed to replacing the rack?
3) temp gauge on the dash is dead. Tried to find the temp sending unit thinking it also might be related to the cold idle problems in #1 above. Is it the sender-like unit thing on the top passenger side of the radiator?
Sorry for the long post. Thanks in advance for the help! Long Live the Saabs!!!
Brian
