Front end work

Hi all
I Started tearing into my front end and my truck is terrible. Just bought new hub assemblies, ball joints, u joints, struts, axle seals, tie rod ends, and rotors.

My question is what else should I replace while I have it torn apart

Thanks in advance
Scott

Hi and welcome.

Make sure both axle seals. Brake pads and maybe new calipers..if they are over 80k.

really new calipers? Im doing the brakes on my truck as well and the calipers appear to be OEM. I only pulled them apart because the pads were low, and then I realized just how corroded the rotors were. It was braking fine, cleaned off the rubber piston boots and they still look good.

Id just consider a caliper to be a replace it when it starts to leak deal.
