Tie rods?

Hey guys I need to replace all the tie rods on my 89 bronco. Should I replace the ball joints also? Just seems like they all kinda work together and it will put more stress on the new parts if I have some old ones in there. Oh and what year explorers have the 5.0 in them so I can look for the intake and heads? Thanks guys!!!

ball joints don't have a tendency to wear out as much as tie rods do. check the ball joints if they are worn , replace them, if not I would not worry about it.

If I am mistaken, eh, but I believe the 5.0 explorer started in ~1995. The explorer guys will know better though.
