Hi, I realize these are different areas. But just want to have your input on whether these are wear and tear items and if it makes sense to rebuild for preventative maintenance although there is no major failure, just a little steering wander. And if so, where would you put your $$$ first.

Inputs on total budget for all items and recommendations on brands or kits are welcome.

Im rebuilding this truck for the PanAm, with a Lance camper on the back, so reliability is important.

2000 F350, 4x4 Lariat with 214k on the clock.

 

Welcome. I would browse through the tech folder that is up top in sticky.
This is a good how to with a lot of part numbers etc that goes through the hubs to the ball joints.

XRF seem to be the flavor for steering Components and ball joints right now.
spicer for u joints
timken IMO for hubs
I replaced the box too. Redhead Or possibly even blue top seems to be the flavor there too, but I went with a motorcraft reman because of availability.

 

Thanks Brian! I have been diving through the tech folder. Im attaching a small sinthesis of all parts needed, minus front sway bar R&R.
All in the excel.

Might be of help to someone to get started in the parts needed for a full rebuild.
