/----o---\ Hellaflush front end work
New to me truck has some very worn front end parts including wheels bearings and ball joints, rotors, pads, and a locking hub.
While I'm diggin that deep what else should i consider replacing? Open to brand suggestions as well
So far the list includes:
Warn preium hubs
Rotors & pads - good brand?
Wheel/spindle bearings and seals from knuckle out - timken seals, but bearings?
Moog greasable ball joints
U joints if needed - brand suggestions?
Anything else I should think about? Its a new to me 4x4 that'll mostly only see mud puddles and trails but the occasional trip to town

Yup if you are gonna do it, you might as well do it all at once.
Wheel bearings inner and outer, seals
Spindle bearings and seals
Axle shaft u-joints
Rotors (Replacing them is a PITA - you might be able to take them to a shop while they are still on the hub and having them turned - that's what I did)
Brake Pads
Calipers and hoses
Springs
Shocks
Tie Rods
Moog for anything that is a joint
Timken for anything that is a bearing
National for anything that is a seal
Raybestos and Wagner and good brake brands.

Rotors are just a few bolts to split it from the hub, right?
Really think I should worry about the calipers? Truck stops decent as is but rotors have spier viens and pads are a bit low
Rotors are held on by the lug nut studs. If you have air tools its a lot easier.
If the suspension and calipers and hoses look good then leave em be. I have almost 200k miles on the factory calipers and hoses. But I would recommend flushing the system real well.

Thanks for the info bud...don't rekon you'd know anything about a caster/camber nut looking job,would you? I've seen them here and there woke pricing some parts and wasn't sure if it's something that could go bad and need replaced while I've got everything else torn apart down there?
