Default Squeaking high and low...

Hello all, my 2006 2wd v8 Dakota has developed some squeaks. One is a high pitched fast repeating squeak when i hit smaller bumps, the other is a slower, lower pitched squeak when it's more of a rolling bump. I assume this is the front end nonsense associated with these trucks.

So my question is this: I want to replace all parts that tend to fail on these front ends and probably do the struts as well. I thought there was a sticky or thread that listed all replacement parts for the front end, but can't seem to find it? Can someone really quick just tell me what I should replace with the moog parts, or point me to the thread if it exists?

Thanks in advance!

Not sure if there is a specific thread, just lots of threads...if your going to go all out, this is what I would replace:

- Outer tie rods
- Sway bar bushings
- Sway bar end links
- Ball joints (upper and lower)
- Struts
- Depending on the condition, the entire a-arm (upper and lower)
