Well my 1993 ford f150 xlt 4x4 has got a new set of shoes and rims 31x10.5xr15 mickey thompson baja mtz radials and got i love them tires totally changes the appearance of a truck even gave a lil lift but i go to get it aligned and they said the lower ball joint on the driver side needs replacing and that a wheel bearing on the passenger side needs replacing. all together bout 300 dollars... yea i was floored... so today i went to oriellys and picked up some seals and bearings(for the auto hubs) and some ball joints and all these parts were crappy master pro parts... im taking the ball joints back and getting some moogs. but im gonna replace all the ball joints with moogs uppers and lowers both sides and basically rebuild the front auto hubs with new seals and bearings inners and outters. but i was wondering bout my tie rods... i mean could this affect anything? my steering is still really tight and drives straight as a arrow can take my hand off the wheel for 10mins and still be in the lines. should i wait on tie rods? i mean im broke as it is and really going even broker. i swear if i find something else wrong ima cry like a baby cause my wallet has suffered tremendously. and to get all the parts for the tie rods and have a almost completely rebuilt front end will cost big time.... i was just wondering on the tie rods if i needed them or not i mean the guys trying to align didnt say anything about them so. should i just replace them when they become wore out? or what? any input would be greatly appreciated. and sorry for the long story lol

 

Fix what it needs and don't bother with what it doesn't. But do yourself a favor and ditch the auto hubs for manuals. And do the rest of us a favor and try harder to use better punctuation and capitalization. Not that we're grammar ***** around here its just that run on sentences with no capital letters get kinda hard to read ya know and were trying to read your post and sort out your question but everything just runs together and it gets hard to sort out what youre saying and i already have a headache for some reason and this asprin isnt working and im getting hungry too. LOL. See what I mean?

Dig the screen name. The whole reason I got a PS3 was so I could play MGS4.

 

I recommend installing a Camber Kit. It will help with alignments. Just remember to inform the people doing the alignments...They tend to only adjust the tie rod ends and tell you a part is worn out.

NAPA AUTO PARTS

 

I have considered converting to manuals just haven't had the time or money to do so. I have all the parts needed. Picked up some moog ball joints today upper and lower. And thanks ill worry bout tie rods later. Oh and yea sorry lol when i wrote that i was extremely tired lol but ill try to keep the writing clean so it is easily read.
