confused - Hub/Spindle rebuild

I'm pretty much rebuilding the front end and I've gone and confused myself. Read too many articles/posts and I've seen to many videos.

Steering:
Inner tie rod
outer tie rod(s)
draglink
adjusting sleeves
Stabilizer kit

Suspension:
radius arm bushing
axel pivot bushings
upper/lower ball joints

Spindle:
inner bearings
outer bearings (?)
grease seal

Hub:
Inner bearing
outter bearing
oil seal(?)
Warn Hub lockers

brakes
rotors/pads

Am I missing something?

Yes, you're missing a diagnosis. In my experience, you're wasting a lot of time and money replacing parts that are probably still good. But it's your time and your money.

There is only one spindle bearing, and there is a seal that keeps it in place and dirt from getting in.

There are inner and outer wheel bearings as well as a grease seal.

The only parts that you missed are the axle shaft u-joints, the brake hoses that go from the steel lines to the calipers, and the calipers.

Where are you going to source all this stuff from?

There is more to the story here that will probably be included in a seperate thread. It's been quite the rabbit hole.

The parts you listed as missing are about the only parts that didn't need help. And the break lines are suspect at best.
