I have 89,000 miles on the car and never had a front end collision but I did get rear ended ones. Only thing it did was crack the rear bumper and after that I had alignment done on the car and that was with my stock rims on. What part of the suspension wear do u think would cause to this?

Id start with the easiest and most common... ball joints. at that milage they are toast. You will have other items to look at such as lower control bushings and dampner also. Last item to check is the drag link but work your ways backwards to that. Even with the 208 outdated steering, you will be surprised how tight and responsive it is when back in spec.

bushings yes, damper will just take out vibration and wander but nothing for wear
Yeah but it is all straight forward and not very difficult. You will need an alignment after you are done though
