Yes. You may also remove strut & steering knucle from car without separating them (if necessary) so you do not have to get an alignment.
Don't really think so, the 306 has one short and one long drive shaft with an intermediate bearing carrier. You could try a dirct comparison side by side.
I don't know. However, generally speaking when a steering column is wrecked by theft damage as you indicate, the least expensive course is to have an experienced technician install a used steering column from a salvage vehicle. Try to ensure the used column is from a salvage vehicle that has not been wrecked through front end collision.
It is located in line with the steering shaft just past the plastic dash material. The interface plug points nearly straight down. The OBDII interface was not in some cars built during 1996.

The Pitman arm is attached to the power steering pump, which is connected to your steering shaft, which is the long rod looking thing to the right of the engine, the idler arm is to the left of the pitman arm attached to the fram, it basically looks like a strip of metal bolted to the fram that is connected to your shaft that is also connced to the pitman arm
The joint you are looking for is the U joint. You have one at the back of the transmission and another where the drive shaft attaches to the rear end. On the extended version there will also be a U joint in the middle. So if you look under the car and the drive shaft just looks like one long tube you have a two joint shaft. If however, you see what appears to be a joint about the size of both of your fists together in the middle of the shaft, you are looking at the third joint.
