Suspension Tune-up?
Hello, i need help on what parts i will need to replace when i tune-up my suspension. I know it is really bad but i have the stock shocks with 175,000 miles i bought it at 173,000 and i knew a lot needed to be done. I know it need ALL new bushings, new tie rods and tie rod ends, upper and lower ball joints, and idler arms. Is there anything else? It is really bad and i need to get it done.

Okay thanks. Now do you suggest that anything else be done? I just had new rims and tires put on it but is there anything else?

Alignment after you get all that done.
Also check your rear sway bar bushings and leaf spring bushings.

well if your gonna go thru tearing it apart to put that whole kit on now would be a good time to check the control arm bushings out if they need replaced too you wont find a better time to do it.
