So the previous owner of this truck told me he was in a minor accident and there was some damage to the front end. The radiator was replaced...probably due to the accident.

There is some visible body damage in the front, not too bad looking the hood doesn't quite line up properly..maybe the front of the frame got tweaked a little.

My main concern is there is some shaking in the steering, particularly when I'm turning to the right, but shaking in general. Some parts dont quite look the same on both sides.

Below are pics I've taken of most, if not all of the front end components. I'm sure the trained eye can see what might need to be replaced.

If I'm better off just getting a kit to replace everything, please let me know. They don't seem too expensive.

Lots of pics here:

 

With the wheels on the ground have a helper turn the steering wheel slightly from side to side and see how much play you have in the tie rods, idler arm and pitman arm. Lift truck to check play in ball joints by trying to move wheel in and out (holding it at 12 & 6 o'clock). Pictures can't really show much for these potential issues. Steering stabilizer should probably be replaced. Looks like those ball joints could use some grease (if orig bolts are still there, they can be replaced with grease zerks). Can't see in the pics the condition of your sway bar to frame bushings along with the end link bushings.
