I would agree SFC's first. You should replace the worn out front pieces as well. I just replaced the tie rods, ball joints, a-arm bushings, idler arm, and center link with MOOG pieces. I can look up the part #'s if you need them. I also put on new springs, struts and strut mount bearings, and a 13" C4 brake kit while I had everything apart.

Your wheel rub might be caused by your steering box. Cars that were originally equiped with 16" wheels came with a different gear ratio box than cars with smaller stock wheels. Look for a used one of a GTA, Formula, or Iroc.
