2000 Ex v-10 Front End, Next Steps

I know there are threads out there but I figured I would ask anew....steering and suspension needed work. I replaced the upper and lower ball joints with some Moogs, Moog stabilizer bar links and a Monroe Steering Damper. I am extremely happy with the results, as it was pretty bad, but still want it better, newer, etc. Looking for suggestions for next parts to replace for both steering and suspension.........Its a daily driver with minimal heavy hauling. I have a 9500# boat that I tow a few times a year.

Tadsen, check out the tech folder for additional ideas. See the heading:

Suspension, Steering, Brakes, Wheels, Tires, Axles, Hubs, Transmission/Driveline

Lotsa options for you to browse.

Nothing wrong with that as products will improve over time, and sometimes products from reputable company's no longer are trustworthy, so getting the latest info is good.

But like Sean directed, check out the tech folder along with your inquiry because there really is some excellent info there, like changing the caster degree for better handling and less feeling of Excursion Wander.

...it was pretty bad, but still want it better
Better how?

Better components or better handling characteristics?

I am looking for the basic less wander. I could live with it as is now, but I know it can be better based on forum info.

I had a ton of wander in the steering, turned out to be a busted tie rod end at the pitman arm. Wander is all gone now!
