Front End Work
Alright so my next stop on my project truck here is the front end.
I just ordered all Moog ball joints and tie rods from Rock Auto and am looking for all new bushings for the sway bars, radius arm etc.
Any other ideas to replace check while I am havin her tore apart? I know there is more I could do but need fresh input..just dont want to have her torn apart twice if I can avoid it.
Please and thx

i know it may sound rudimentary, but i would check all the little stuff too, if you havent already i mean. double checking the ujoints when you do the ball joints, all the brake components and lines down by the hubs. just little stuff like that. i also clean out my rotor slots if they're dirty when i have my front end in the air. but thats just me.

Ball joints and tie rod replacement donezo...
So finishing gathering supplies for the next step. Picked up U joints, Bearings/Seals lookin at pads rotors/hub assembly. Been a while since I have replaced any brake parts.
Suggestions for brakes and rotor/hub assemblies? Really do not know if I trust Duralast or Brakebest or whatever the brand for Oreilly's. Was lookin at Wagner or some cross drilled/slotted rotors etc. And..I have not pulled it off yet but when I research the parts it says I need the rotor bug assembly but the online chat option for Oreilly's says it separate.
Any clues or insight would be great
