Front end rebuild

Just looking for advice on where you guys buy your front end rebuild parts. My Xpedition is showing all the tell tale signs that its time.
Also should I be ready to replace the idler arm and pitman arm? Any of you guys need to replace at around 100k?

My X is a 2000 5.4 AWD.

Thanks

I buy all my parts from O'Reilly and I've never replaced a pitman or idler arm on any vehicle I've owned.

I replaced an idler arm at around 60k on the 2000 Expy. You might look at Rockauto.com for your front end parts.

Parts for your truck -
2x Spicer upper control arm/ball joint assembly - $38
2x Moog lower ball joints - $29
2x Moog lower control arm bushing kit - $25
1x Moog front sway bar end links (only if yours rusted off) - $7
2x Moog outer tie rod engs - $29
2x Moog inner tie rod ends - $33

Toss in your favorite brand of shocks and there is a front end rebuild. I pulled the prices of each part off of Rockauto.com. It will cost you around $300 to replace everything except the idler arm and the pitman arm.

You shouldn't need the cam bolts. The factory bolts should work. IIRC the bolts are under $20 if you end up needing them.
