I just pulled a TTB Front End out of a bronco that I plan on installing on my F150. The vehicle has sat for a number of years now so obviously it needs new rotors and I plan on replacing the auto lock hubs with manual. Is there anything else I should replace other than that and of course the fluids??? Any help and/or opinions will be appreciated.

I would check ball joints and wheel bearings. If the ball joints are original I would replace them since it is much much easier if its out of the truck

Check the wheel bearing, inner and outer, at least repack them but for <$10 each I would say replace. Ball joints are also fairly cheap and couldn't hurt to be done as well. Maybe check all of the bushings too; radius arm, I-beam axle pivot, etc.. As you probably know with new rotors should come new pads. Don't know what condition your springs/shocks are in but it's another thought. I'm sure others will have more ideas but this is what I would do if I had it out.

Center u-joint.

Thanks, for the great information. I was curious if i should replace any of the u joints. Im glad to see just the center one was recommended. I was not looking forward to doing all of them LOL. As always on this site thanks for the information/opinions.

They all probably need replaced, but the center one is a pain. Much easier if the whole works is out of the truck. The u-joints at the wheel can be replaced later without too much trouble.

If your outer u joints have grease nipples, you can try pumping fresh grease in, but i would replace them.

I would replace all the u-joints while it's out and apart. And maybe the spindle bearings and seals while you have the spindles off. At the very least grease them and change the seals
