So my 220k mi old 96 4rnunner is getting a little more sloppy these days. I was going to go through and start refreshing parts of the front suspension.

Are there common as of wear I should start with? I haven't done a shakedown or anything just yet, though I know I have an UBJ on the way out.

Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks everyone,

I started on my 96 with 250K a couple of months ago. So far, I have replaced upper and lower ball joints, steering rack with inner and outer tie rods, and front and back sway bar bushings. Next weekend will be Bils struts and shocks with OME springs front and back. I stared because every small bump I hit felt like the truck would shake apart. Now, it rides much better, like a truck, but without the horrible shakes. Can't wait to get the new struts, shocks and springs in. I am pretty handy, and have worked on cars my whole life to some degree, but I am certainly not a mechanic by any means. None of the work I described was very hard at all. I hear that the rear shocks will be a challenge. Good luck with your projects.
