[MR2] steering play after new struts

[Benn]

I don't see anything weird with the alignment, except the rear toe seems 
like a lot.  OTOH I don't know what it's supposed to be.
First, do you have play in the steering?  Does it feel like you turn the 
wheel for a bit, feel no load, and nothing happens, or do you turn it, and 
it feels like there's load, but nothing happens?  Any clunking noises?
