Front-end steering rebuild/upgrade?

Thinking about re-doing my front-end for a better ride. I got about 112k on the OD and do a lot of highway driving. So I just want to keep my ride top notch and as comfortable as possible. So far I have an OME lift with SPC UCA and have done both front wheel bearings. I suppose what's left is as follows:

LOWER BALL JOINTS
INNER TIEROD END
OUTER TIEROD END
SWAYBAR LINKS
CV AXLES
SWAYBAR BUSHINGS?
NNEEDLE BEARINGS?

What else would a "full front-end rebuild" consist of?

 

Lower control arm bushings if you need em.

 

Not saying don't but tbh if nothing is worn/ loose and your alignment is good and done by someone that actually knows how to do alignments, it maybe better for the vehicle longevity to do the scheduled maintenance like fluid changed, plugs, throttle body clean, adjust the drums etc.
advise from my self a red seal mechanic

 

Already do those lol, my truck is up to date on maintenances and I’m just improving it at this point

 

In that case if you want to throw arms at it I would look into higher caster control arms as the caster range stock is between negative caster and tops like 3.5* which is okay but aslong as you can deal with a little stiffer steering wheel I would try to get the caster up to the range of 4.5 to help with highway driving. Otherwise oem parts are the highest quality, many jobs i've done at the dealer so "non common failures" involve me replacing an aftermarket part to a factory part. Especially with suspension

 

I'd agree that if what you have isn't sloppy, leave it alone. I have a set of Sankei 555 inners & outers in my toolbox (decided to get while the getting was good when 'rona shortages started becoming apparent) but with 165k on my truck the AFAIK originals are still tight.

Old me might have figured that with >150k they had a good run & replace them preemptively. These days I'm half wondering if they're black magic, but mostly they obviously did something very, very right, so let it ride until there's a real reason to replace them.

 

What about steering rack bushings?

 

Like the other suspension bushings, unless they are not just cracking but separated from the steel sleeves I would leave them too. Rubber bushings are meant to allow for movement and as with the vast majority of everything else, oem is the best made with the least amount of drawbacks unless you are working the vehicle way outside the norm of it
