If they aren't clicking really bad or actually broke. I would just reboot them. The kit comes with new grease,clamps and snap rings.

Yeah meguiars came out with "Meguiars Black Wax" and "Meguiars White Wax".
It looks like you have a white truck and as you know, sometimes it can be harder to tell if a clean white truck has been waxed vs a darker colored vehicle. So meguiars came out with white wax specifically designed for white and lighter colored vehicles. Its supposed to richen the shine and color of you vehicle. Its pretty cheap price wise and (from my experience) has good results. I would suggest wiping your whole truck down twice when you go to remove it though. It's pretty oily so I had to wipe each part of the truck down twice. I just used one rag to wipe it down once, then I went over the whole truck again with another clean rag.

Cleaned her out really good and about to wash her. I also ordered a rough country suspension lift to get all of my steering back into decent specs because as of right now everything from ball joints to tie rods to idler arm is trashed. Have to rebuild the whole front end pretty much. Body lifts gonna stay on until I get some free time to remove it.
