Hi,

50K on your strut mounts, it's time to check them.
Beware of junky Chinese front end parts.
Put the front up on a pair of jack stands and you can find slop in the steering
quickly. Ball joints, bad sway bar end links, and also the steering U-joints
might act up. I wasn't overwhelmed with IPD sway bars in the 850.
Replace worn sway bar bushings first.

After all looks OK to you, find out where the local euro auto garages send their cars for alignment and get your car aligned there. Do this after you replace beat tires and maybe dented rims.

Good luck, Bill
