#352718 I have finally started to get an idea of where I need to start with this project car...

Current issues:
1) drivers side Axle rubbing on strut fork.. Innovative mounts (at least what I think they are) h22 swap btw

2) Steering and alignment completely out of wack

Took both wheels off and this is what it looks like:

What are all the parts you guys see that need to be replaced?

#352722 I see a couple of the upper/lower balljoint dust covers look to be torn/letting a little grease out, but nothing major.
Steering boot is completely torn on the end. Replace that for sure.
The boot on the tie rod end link has a good size rip, I'd replace that while I have things apart and before getting the car aligned.

Really, it's about how the car feels. If it's sloppy and making clunk/knock sounds from the front end, then you need to isolate & figure out which joint it is. Upper ball joints seem to be the first to go.
