ok got my wheels aligned the other day, got the car back and it was pulling hard to the left all the time, so went back, and was told that i am in need of some new srut tops, they did what they could with out replacing the struts, fixed it up then i did a hardish u turn while trying to get me K's up and it then started pulling hard right :( so this is basically me needing new strut tops? can someone school me on them? never looked into them... where can i get standards, get mine rebuilt (if possible), how much more are adjustable tops? is it worth it etc. id like to get this issue done with this week if possible  cheers Rhys

Who told you this Rhys?
I can't see how your strut tops would cause such a problem, standard Escort strut tops are extremely basic. It never did it before did it?
What exactly is wrong with them? Is the rubber completely perished?
I'd just replace them (if they are stuffed) with some decent 2nd handies if you dont want to spent $400+ ish on aftermarket adjustable ones.
