Im not liking the feel of my truck even after new tie rods and shocks. So I have decided to tear it all down and install the following:
New moog Inner tie rods
New moog Outer tie rods
New moog upper control arms with bushings
New moog upper ball joints
New moog lower ball joints
New moog front sway bar links
New wheel hub assemblies (bearings and all)
Am I missing anything? Lastly I want to do my cv joints, are these something that I can rebuild or what? Where the hell do I go about getting these babies. I can find everything else.
I got an order on rock auto right now for about $700. She will drive like new!

This is after I have the ball joints and wheel bearings off.

I don't have any experience with this trucks half shafts, but every other vehicle I've done.. I've had to take the axle nut off, get the hub free, pop them from the case with a tug(mine had retaining clips that stayed on the end of the shaft), then carefully tap them out of the hubs. Watch out for that speed sensor on the drivers side. Or both if 4 wheel ABS

I've only done the driver side one. I gave a couple of light taps on the inner housing, (the one closest to differential) and that did the trick. That just get's it past a retaining ring. The new one I just shoved back in, I didn't need to apply much pressure. You hear/feel a little click when it sits itself back on that ring.

1 Upper control arm with a ball joint costs $90, so two is $200 shipped. Then each lower is at least $50. So thats $300. And then wheel/hub assemblies are just over $100 each. So were already over $400...
Inner tie rods are more too...
