I've got 170k miles on my 01 and am in dire need of a new set of tires. Before I shell out a grand, I want to get the front end feeling new again. I will probably change the ball joints, tie rod ends, pitman arm, idler arm, and control arm bushings. Where can I find GOOD parts for this job at a reasonable price?

As for the bushings, does anyone offer polly bushings for these trucks?

I'm looking at doing this next weekend so would like to get the ball rolling or ordering the parts.

Thanks!

 

That is a big job, but worth it.As your truck is barely broken in. I have always been told "Moog" worth the price.

^^ much agreement!
It doesn't matter where you get them but Moog is definitly the parts you want if you intend on keeping it for any length.
I don't know if it's worth trying urethane bushings. I good set of standard bushings are stiff enough for our trucks. Unless you got a set of dubs with tater skin tires The rolling rubber has so much sway that you won't be able to tell any difference in bushings and the fractional percentage reduction of component movement will be undetectable in all the high speed highway manuevering that our trucks are designed for.
