The bushing and ball joint are showing there age so Tie rods maybe?
I like how the new scoops are looking.
I think i'm going to anyway. I mean I might as well. I'm right here and need to do an alignment anyway...

Did you already look at the rear bushings? I would guess that they are similarly worn.
My PSA is to not buy cheap ball joints when you replace them. When I lowered my wifes 96 GT vert, I had to do it on the cheap. It had a bad inner tie rod and outers were squeaking because they were original and had no grease zerks. Ball joints were iffy too so since I had to order parts I ordered 2 Mevotech ball joints. Put everything together and got it aligned. Everything was good. A couple years later my wife was complaining the car did not feel right. I thought to myself, that is werid, the front end is fairly new. I drove it but I did not notice anything weird. When I did the next oil change, I took a good look under it and still no smoking gun. Well, shortly after, my wife was on her way home from the barn where she worked, with my youngest son, well the ball joint let go and came out of the socket on the pass side when she was at speed on a country back road. Luckily nothing happened to her, my son, or the car. Ball joint had about 9,000 miles on it and was 2-2.5 years old at that point. I replaced them both with Moog. Never again will I use Mevotech.Bushing and balljoints trashed. No play on the BJ so no risk of it failing.
I see a TON of balljoint failures on the new edge forums on FB. Every week someone has one fail. Guess it’s a PSA to check your balljoints!
