Front End Problems
""The adjuster arms between the lower control arms were rubbing on the inside of the frame.''"
That has me confused. The problem could be lost motion or backlash in the steering gear or box coupling.
The front brakes are 73 and up disc brakes. The lower arms are the earlier , probably originals , with the swaybar tab being where it is. Sway bar gone.
Its possible the lower arm bushing and ball joints have never been changed.
