John, IIRC you can take the clip out of tge torsion bar anchor, back the torsion bars off, loosen the nuts up on the LCA, and drive them back far enough to get the strut rods out without pulling everything apart.

Bent strut rods will cause odd alignment issues too, but as Mike said, check the frame rail real good.

My copper Duster had been whacked hard enough on the driver's side it had ripped the UCA mounts off. They had been welded back on.
