The front edge wear is about on 2 inches of the tread on the outside and are almost worn to the max while the center section and inside have about 3/4 of the tread left.
The complete front control arms, ball joints, tie rods, and anti-sway bars are pretty well rusted, really rusted. Probably the reason the OP sold it. I knew this when I bought it. I am replacing most everything except the axle shafts. The bearings are getting changed also. The rear was done prior to ownership.
The question, what cam bolt kit to get? RealOEM shows that I should have 4 of them but I only have them on the upper holes which is correct. It only shows the nut and bolt but not the specialty washers. So the reason for the after market alignment cam bolt kit.

Stick to just getting the front end suspension rebuilt. Once done get it aligned. Now if there is front end frame/unibody damage then this presents a whole other variable of concern.
