RE: Loose front end

than my driver's side. So when I accelerated, the passenger side would 
lift up more than the drivers side (my rears were also in bad shape, so 
there was a lot of rocking to begin with). This would change the 
alignement enough to pull to the side.  

Hmmm....   I suppose this *could* be a possible solution.  I should 
clarify by saying that the front right strut is totally blown, (as in 
that corner of the car will bounce about 2-3 times after releasing in 
the "bounce test.") while the left one is still ok, though still worn.  
The problem could be compounded by the fact it has (cut?) lowering 
springs?  I really want to put some stock springs on the car as it's my 
"winter beater" and it doesn't do so hot with the 8" of snow we got this 
week.

Gonna get under it this evening and check it out more closely...
