Default 1997 GT suspension and another question

I have a 97 GT, my tire on the drivers side is wearing on the inside and outside.All the rest of the tires seem to look ok.I was thinking a tie rod problem,but I want to get some definite advice before I start throwing parts at it.

Also,the car is using oil,and I am seeing white smoke out the tail pipes.I am guessing it is about time for a rebuild,I had someone tell me about a egr valve or something of the sort.
Could this be my problem?

Sorry I am posting so many questions in one thread,just looking to get some advice.

I did notice recently that I went to go get in it one morning and there was no antifreeze what so ever in it.I put some in there and was on my way.That could be the deal with that.
I am going to park it shortly,I think I just need to tear into it and do a rebuild b/c it has been sluggish lately too.I just have to find a car to drive,looking for a fox coupe to buy and drive for a while.
Thanks for the site.

Any one know anyhting about my other problem with the suspension?
