What does it mean when I have play in my steering and squeaking noises?

Is this pretty much what I need, PLUS the IDLER ARM and PITMAN ARM? And the $50 bushing? Also, are 2500 and 3500 the same and are all 94-01 the same or no? Also, will my OFF-ROAD work with a STOCK pitman or is the pitman arm or any other parts on the OFF-ROAD different (suspension wise, NOT shocks/springs)?
Did you get help from a friend to check the components as described earlier? Or are you just wildly spending money and replacing everything, whether it's bad or not?
im wildly spending money pretty much a little and yes the pitman arm, idler arm and track bar are all bad, since I use this trunk for long distance, I might as well change all this stuff.
Take the time to find out what parts are worn and spend the money on replacing the bad parts with better quality. You'll just wind up replacing cheap parts you replaced, again for no reason. Do what you want, but IMHO your course of action is ridiculous.
I'm just trying to buy a whole suspension kit, what's so ridiculous with that, I want to get all new front end parts, that's all
Consider what your front end parts do for you, and what you do TO them..... That is NOT an area that you want to cheap out on. You would be much further ahead by doing a VERY thorough inspection, find out what's bad, and then replace those parts with QUALITY parts. Yeah, its more expensive that way, initially...... but, in the long term, you will replace far fewer parts that way.
What's the point of saving a few bucks to get cheap, low-quality parts, that you will have to replace again in maybe another year?
