5sfe ST204 questions, Engine help Options

[jbcustom]

I just bought a 6g celica last night, a used ST204 w/ a 5spd. I am very happy with the exception of a few things. The steering of the car is extremely tight only going to one side, as I found out this car is a salvage and sustained damage to the front passenger fender. Is this problem correctable with just alignment and balancing, or could it be a more serious matter such as an axle problem or power steering problem? Another question I have concerns my engine, when decelerating the throttle is extremely jerky and makes a harsh rattling noise which can also be described as a rubbing noise.

Last but not least, how can I get the cruise control functions to work incase I do get lazy on long straight aways? In my old beemer its a wire, but I would think it would probably be an electrical function in this Toyota.

Let me know, and thanks for your help
