[asmith]

So i am going to replace all the bearings and seals in my front end from the spindles out. I will also be replacing the ball joints. I may do the TREs, but i have not yet looked to see what condition they are in. Here is the list of parts i am going to order along with their part numbers. do you see anything that is wrong or missing?

Yeah i wasn't real sure what ones to get, but these are the top grade they make and everything i read says they are really good. most people liked them better than the motorcraft and they were a couple bucks cheaper. what would you recommend? what about my other question, do you see anything missing or wrong?

Thanks for the feedback.

Spicer.

Seems people like moog premium for tre's. Probably what I'll be buying.

I think moogs quality has declined over the years. Spicer +++ ive also heard of a Canadian company making some beefy ball joints

Good to know.
Most people liked them for the lifetime warranty. So go figure. Lol

Make sure you have everything. I needed wheel bearings on a sunday. I had to get chinese bearings from napa,a chinese race from oriley and another race from korea from pepboys and seals from autozone.nobody stocked all the parts at the same store

I'll be doing the same thing shortly.

I'd double heck on the 3850 lb BJs. I thought they were 4600 lb for the Dana 50. I had to take mine back, but that was over a year a go, so...

yep ordered everything from rock auto, that is why i asked everyone to look at my list and see if anything is missing, i want to do it right , with good quality parts all at once.

Thank you!! This is exactly what i was talking about, i didnt even notice there was a different one till you said something. i will look into this.

ok after some quick research. spicer and raybestos are owned by the same company, and apparently they are no longer making ball joints under the spicer name, it all got rolled into raybestos. there is old stock out there still. everything i have read is really positive about the raybestos ball joints so i am sticking with them. also as to which lower ball joints it is not real clear on the website which to go with. i have 4.10 gears so i am going to go with the 4600 lb ones.since they list that gear ratio along with the axle rating. thank you again MOWOG for pointing that out.
