that would be your inner and outter tie rod end, with the adjuster in the middle.

Yes, it should beable to rotate with a little bit of force. Now if its loosely wabbling around, then its bad.

Yep, only difference between our V6's and the V8's, for the suspension, is that our springs are "lighter". Everything else is the same and you can use any suspension/chassis/steering/brakes/axle part for a V8 car.

Oh, well, not everything- our V6's are "taller" than V8's, so most strut tower braces won't fit between the top of our V6 and the hood.

The parts that like to wear on our rides is the center link & Idler arm. Pitman arm is a NON-WEAR item.
Replace those two parts & then go further if ya need to. As in tie rod ends & such
Other places to look is the steering rag joint on the steering column, engine comparment.
After all that then ya go to the front suspension bushings.
Remember all this "stuff" is near 20 years old.....
ON mine I mearly replace the front struts, center link, idler arm, regreased all items down there (synthetic grease) & my alignment became perfect again. Went to check it & they wouldn't adjust it due to it was "right".
