Default Need some suspension advice...

My 2008 Truck has 16kmi on it. Yes, it only gets driven once a month.

Pass tierod was shot due to internal moisture/rust. It caused excessive play and make my rack seal leak.

I already have both inner and outer Moog greasable tierods to install. I have new seals for my rack to install as well.

My question. Since I am going to verify alignment, would you guys reccomend dropping another $160 to do the Balljoints that are perfectly fine and for how little I drive the truck?

Moog uppers/lowers from RockAuto are $160 shipped.

Just looking for other experiences really. I know the truck has low mileage but it's still a 2008.

i would, you will already be working on it, and if your planning on keeping the truck you will be doing the ball joints eventually anyways, replace them with the good moog problem solvers, grease them every 5000kms or so and they should last the life of the truck

With only 16k I wouldn't unless the boots are cracked and at 16k, I doubt it
