Hello all!
Back again and I am trying to get opinions on what brand ball joints to use. Was gonna try proforged, believe they have a good warranty although they are 60 bucks per... Also am scared for any ball joint I end up going with being loose in the knuckle due to it being 20 years old etc.. And I can't afford having the truck down at my friend's to pull one out and measure the diameter.
Now for control arms, I've heard talk of getting adjustable so you can improve the geometry as best as possible. Currently I believe I have stockers as well as a leveling kit and I get creeks and noises when going over bumps. I was going to just replace the bushing and sleeve but my friend who owns multiples of these trucks says sometimes its best to just get new arms due to not spending a ton of time burning out the bushings if you can't get them out easily..
Also, I'm assuming a solid brand for front hubs would be Timken? May replace those as well. Trying to get the truck good by possibly November to go across the country back home. Was also planning to put Bilstein 5100's on as well as a steering brace and new pitman arm since I believe the previous shop didn't torque things right and it is now damaged and coming loose.
