i only took the struts out of the tower mount and DIDN'T break them loose from the spindle assy? i took everything out as one piece, including tie rods, but didn't mess with the length on those, either...

As long as you only took the strut out of the tower mount and didn't break loose the strut tower mount, you will be fine. And for the tie rods, as long as you did not mess with the tie rod sleeves, you will be fine on that too.

What made you take all that stuff apart?

nope, didn't mess with any of that stuff... took it all out cuz while the drive train was out, i pulled the cross member out also to have it blasted and coated.
