Front End Rebuild Parts

[Neumonic]

Hello,

I am going to replace both inner CV boots in the next few weeks on my 2003 AWD V8 Limited and wondered what else you all would recommend I replace while I have both sides apart? I figure I met as well take care of the basics and anything else that would be a "good idea" while I'm at it.

My odo is just over 200,000 miles

Any and all feedback welcome and appreciated.

Thanks,
John

Replace your wheel hub bearings while your there and all the bushings.

Replace your knuckle aka spindle to cv seals while you have the cvs out as a minimum

Wheel bearings are no a bad idea either if they have over 100k on them
Make sure you check yours for play while your in there
But they can be done easy after the cvs are in
But the knuckle seal i mentioned above cannot

Thank you for the recommendation, I will look at pricing out the bearings and the bushings before I tear into it.

Thanks for the info on the seals, i will spec those out as well.

Ordered some parts

My XREAS just officially bit the dust so I finally got around to placing some orders:
Bilstein 5100's for the front and Moog factory replacement springs to go with them, ordered Bilstein HD shocks for the rear per ARK SWAMPS recommendation. Also ordered all new ball joints for the front, new sway bar bushings and end links.
I figured when I do the CV's I would knock all this out at the same time then do the alignment.
One thing I wasn't sure about was the bushings, are you guy's talking about the upper and lower control arm bushings?

Thanks,
John
