And as Doctor Gollum says, the Thrust Angle (might be called something else on non-Hunter machines) absolutely must be 0'00, nothing else.

Even if you don't refresh the rear suspension, you would be well advised to replace the rear track rods as they have a nasty habit of seizing solid.

I only ever bothered if they needed adjusting, and heat couldn't free them.  Obviously when fitting new, a good coating of (proper) coppaslip on the threads tends to prevent further reoccurance.

Have had a few that bent trying to free off... One was on the ramp at WIM.
 Without seeing or knowing the car or it's history the advice would be to replace them.
