'73 VW Super Beetle with the semi-auto transmission (What a wierd, complicated, stupid invention!) Bought in 1990 in my last year of HS. I wish I still had that car.

My Mark V has VERY sloppy steering (I can turn about 1/4 without going anywhere). The car has sat for most of the last 2 years with an occasional run for about 20 to 30 minutes at a time about every 3 or 4 weeks. Any suggestions where to start looking?
