I am changing the tie rod ends and ball joints... is there another part/parts that i might as well change?

if you have not started this. caution.. measure the distance of the old piece.. the alignment can be ruined.. the toe in and out. you could ruin a set of tires just being a sixteenth off.. after you change. make shure you have greese fittings on the replacement pieces.. and after you are done have an alignment done.. also i would buy a grease gun. hand operated and five pounds of good grease.. if this had been lubricated regularly you would not have to replace ok gilermo|||what kind of car? if i were you i would get it aligned.|||Any other steering joints (ball joint at steering box, idler arm if your vehicle has one.





Check your brakes. How many miles? Wheel bearings maybe...|||if you r changing both upper and lower balljoints and inner and outter tie rods ends u pretty much got it.





you may wanna check the pitman arm and idler arm for play. they are attached to the steering.





if there is no play them you are good to go. but i do recommend getting a wheel alignment. since it is outta wack.





if you don%26#039;t you will wear your tires out very quickly.|||Definetly get an alignment. If it is a truck/suv, check for wheel/hub bearings for any play at all. If its a passenger car, check your brake pads for wear and your shocks for any sign of being damp.|||thats about all as far as parts concerned. now on the front wheel drive, you will have to rent a special tool, if your changing the inner tie rods, and you will need a pickle fork to seperate the ball joint and tie rod, after everything is installed, you need a grease gun to grease them.
