...Well now that I got the oil/coolant issues taken care on my truck, I was pleasantly reminded of what I need to do next. Tie rods, ball joints, and idler assembly/bushing. Did some checking around and it looks like I can get everything the cheapest through Advance. $192 will get all 4 BJ's and all 4 TRE's. I could spend an extra $40 total and move up to TRW brand tre's, or go up $70 total and do Moog all around. It'll depend on money. I didn't realize how bad things were getting until I looked at my front tires and saw how unevenly there were wearing because everything is so misaligned (gonna have to do that after I get everything put too...) I know there is a great idler rebuild alot of you use, but I'm gonna have to scour the board a bit to find it. Never wrote it all down

Hopefully we'll get some decent weather here in WI as I gotta do this all outside

Hooray!

-I'll get her in good shape eventually!

I just used the OEM bushings and seals and rebuilt the idler arm on mine, worked just fine. Cheapest parts are not always the best parts. The most expensive parts are not always the best parts.
