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?
