Exactly what everyone else has said. I ended up changing all the bushings, tie rod ends, adjusting sleeves, ball joints, idler arm etc. everything except the center link (I suggest MOOG brand). The reason being is two-fold: a) your truck probably needs it and b) concerning cost, you would hate to replace these items twice. So budget yourself for better products. It's not really a hard job to replace these items, but it aint a lot of fun either and can be quite time consuming--especially by yourself. I also would suggest buying one these if you're going to do this job, Genius Tools 484468S - 1/2" Drive 72-Teeth Flex Head Ratchet with Rubber Handle - 670mm Long http://www.toolpan.com/Genius-Tools-...996.html<br />
