Thanks, Jeff. I need to install my new strut mounts and just bite the bullet & pay for an alignment. Guess there's no real way of knowing if it's something else w/o checking the alignment first. I do believe there's a bit of toe-in, but I couldn't say how much.

This is sure driving me batty, though. I've replaced a lot of parts and seen little/no improvement.
