front end replacement parts suggestions

my 2000 ltd runner has over 300K on all original parts, I've got new upper and lower ball joints, any other suggestions, i'm also doing the rack bushings, it goes down the road pretty good still, let go of wheel, goes straight, drifts a little in wind.. wondering about tre's??? bearings /seals? or whole hub assmby??any thing else of grave concern??
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

what else

I would change out the outer tie rod ends while I'm at it and check the inners for play when you have it apart and if they are good change out the boots as it's a pain to do later. I've been told not to worry about the seals and bearings unless you have a leak.

I am in the same boat as you. Just bought a rack from rackdoctor.net, can beat the price. Upper and lower ball joints and outer tie rod ends, the rack comes with inners. Bought the Toyota parts from Conicelli Toyota Parts. They have coupon codes on their website which makes them the best priced in my opinion.

Going to do sway bar busings at the same time.
