With your strut insert in that condition, you need to check your ball joint too. If its original as well, take a very close look at it and see if its bound up by trying to articulate it a bit by moving you A-arm and your empty strut housing. If the ball joint is bad, this is the best time to replace it. You may also want to check out your tie rods and A-Arm bushings as well.
This could get a bit pricey, but better to get everything working correctly and only have to pay for a front end alignment once this year.
