You seem to have most of the bases covered, glad you're not attempting a DIY alignment! I would definitely replace tie rods at the same time. I would also take a good look at the steering linkage arms, etc.

This just a guess - but oil pan gasket?

Good luck!
Thanks for the comments and tips.

Oil pan did not make contact, I believe. The dampness is from a leaky valve cover gasket and oil cap seal which were replaced only recently.
