I had the same prob last year. I ended up replacing every suspension component before I finally gave in and changed the struts. They were in MUCH worse shape than I suspected. These cars have very good front springs and do a good job of masking dead struts on an old car that you expect to feel a bit sloppy. If your mileage is above 150k or so I'd start seriously thinking about doing your front struts.

FWIW the alignment guys /should/ check carefully and tell you if your struts are bad but it's been my experience that most either don't know how or don't care. While Iwas chasing this problem replacing components left and right I specifically asked at least two different alignment techs to check the struts for me and I know now that they didn't/couldn't.
