Quick steering question
Pretty sure I need to order Moog's kit for my steering, ball joints etc also have a feeling I may be up for two new front bearings. My question is how do I know if I need to do anything with my sway bar links? Can you replace just the bushes on those if they're shot?

go with something that has lifetime warranty for BJs
jack up front end and the check for smooth turning and slop
Sway bar links dry rot, I use urethane when replacing them and on the frame bushing.
They make kits that are not expensive on ebay and amazon or fav shopping place.

May also need a Redhead stearing box. Do the other wor parts first just to be sure, but if all of those compnants are bad the box is suspect as well. If you do need a box don't waste your time with "rebuilds" from the usual parts stores. A$$$k me how I know.

Yes , 12 to 6 rocking motion. Sounds like your hub bearings are ok. You can move the drive shaft up and down where it enters the back of the hub bearing to check the needle bearings. If you end up doing ball joints you'll get a good look at them anyway when you have it all apart.
