Thanks. I have 175k miles, and I don't think this has been done before (possible under CPO warranty, but I don't remember it). So, with 175 on the clock, probably safer to do them with everything else.

Thanks for the tips.

Replace the ball joints when doing the thrust arms they are only $25. One trick that has worked is to leave the thrust arm attached, remove the mounting bolts from the joints and smack the arm down with a BFH. Out pops the tapered ball joint on the 3rd hit. (Spray everything with PB Blaster or WD-40 before hand). Some of the joints pop out with a smack on the top of the joint while still in the spindle/upright.
