'99 PSD Front end Rebuild

Whats up, Boys?

Been away for a while, so I don't know if I am still allowed to ask this question in this forum, But I need to get ready for the big front-end service on my truck and need input on all the parts I should look at to get this job done ONCE! Odometer reads about 120k now...

I have all kinds of slop/play/rattling going on up there and it all needs attention. I had to put most of this on the back burner for a while as I found out I was getting a divorce about 8 months ago. But now can get on with my life and stop neglecting my TRUCK! lol

I plan on doing these:

Wheel bearings
U-joints
Ball joints
Poly bushings
Tierod ends
Bilstien shocks

Anything else while I'm at it? Any vendor suggestions?

I would love to convert the wheel bearings to serviceable units like Dynatrac Ford Free Spin 99-04 but that is a bit steep for me, with my new lifestyle, at least for now!

Good to be back - gonna be a great spring!

Thanks,
Ed

If your truck was made before 3/99 you could think about updating from 10mm flange hubs to 13mm like the newer '99s. you would need the newer rotors, but it would make it less complicated later on. ether way make sure you get the right size hubs. 10mm hubs are hard to find and more expensive, just something else to think about if you are going to replace the hubs anyway.
