Replaced my tie rods today to help remove a bump steer wobble I get when hitting uneven pavement. Test drive was ok but still there. Noticed that I get zero vert movement when pushing down on the right front fender, whereas left front I get 1" to 2" of travel. In addition right side is 1" lower than left at rest. Is it the strut insert that failed? It does extend out when raising car to remove wheel though. Original setup on the car. 73 with late struts and calipers.
