Not sure where you live... but if you are in the rust belt, I'd check the tops of the steering knuckle "tubes" at the top where the nut holding the shocks in place to see if they are severely rusted and need replacing. You will need a spring compressor to disassemble the strut assembly. Be very careful with it!
If you are taking everything apart, might be worth changing the wheel bearings while you are in there.
It's not a difficult job. Platonoff's site is good. Just make note of how everything comes apart and put back together the same way. (I take picutures as a matter of course now).
HTH.
