Honestly though all the parts that came off were decent looking and feeling to me, even the ball joints seemed fine but at 176,000 miles there has to be wear for sure.



Here is the bounty of replaced components.


Are you skipping front ball joints and bushings?

I replaced all the front arms and ball joints a year ago when I did the rear upper arms. The reason I did the front bearing was the idiots at my Indy that replaced my front axles bent the front hub somehow banging out the old axles and the wheel hub centric was out of round and had a slight shimmy in the steering wheel over 65MPH.

That's when I decided to start trying to do this stuff myself so I know it gets done right.
