Front End Steering rebuild??

So I have some tire wear, nothing to bad. But enough to create some noise that made me think I had a bad Hub assembly...Well I put a new Timken Hub on yesterday and the noise is still there. Had Discount rotate and balance the tires and the noise moved to the back some with the tires.

I suspect this tire wear is due to worn steering components up front. Truck has 175k on it, I have had it for only the last 6k miles.

I have heard Moog is good stuff. Does anyone else sell a complete kit? Is the Moog kit worth the $650?

This is what I am looking at
Ford Excursion Front End Steering Rebuild Kit - Moog

Personally I'd stick with Spicer for you ball joints
These guys are great to work with, just call them and they will "kit" whatever you need.

For tie rod ends I use Motorcraft but moog has a decent reputation.
Rockauto.com carries both at compatible prices.
