Full front end refresh
I'm looking for parts and prices to freshen up my entire front (and probably rear as well) suspension parts before lifting the front to match the back. I'm getting quite a bit of little thumps and rattles out of the front end when I'm on rough pavement, hitting speedbumps, or going off-road.
I have 170k on the original LBJ's, so that's first in order. That said, does anyone have experience or a comprehensive list of all the other parts/bushings/links I should go ahead and replace while I'm pulling things out of the front end (and also for the rear suspension while I'm at it)?
I'm a teacher in the 49th state for teacher's pay, so I'm going to have to piece this together over a bit of time. That stated, I'm also a quality first kind of person, so if OEM is a must for a part, I'll wait until I can invest more in order to do it right. I've replaced bushings in friend's cars before using poly bushings with mixed results. Yes they're tight, but also tend to get pretty squeaky over time. Any remedy to that, or should I just go with OEM rubber bushings since the originals lasted 18 years?
