question about strut rods

You definitely need new strut rods, I'd suggest adjustable ones as it's nearly impossible on these cars to get positive caster and camber anymore. The tops of the frame rails roll inward taking all the adjustment away. There are adjustable upper control arms for this also but you should get your front end checked out first to see if you need ball joints, control arm bushings (both upper and lower) or any linkage pieces replaced first. That way you can buy it all at once and take it apart one time. Of course if it's high mileage and hasn't had a front end rebuild then you should just consider replacing all the ball joints, bushings, tie rod ends, strut rods, pitman and idler arms anyway. But you may still need adjustable upper control arms.
