Suspension Replacement

[EddieBowser]

I am replacing the front end suspension in my truck because it sounds like a mouse **** every time I hit a bump or make a turn.

I have priced it out on rock auto the full list is included below in photo,

I try to live by the old proverb "don't cheap out on things that keep you separated from the ground" but I am still on a budget so some of the parts are slightly less MOOG than others. Let me know if you guys think the ULTRAPOWER stuff isn't gunna cut it.

I also went with MOOGS cheaper Lower Arm because money.

For some reason rock auto only has the Front Right Lower Arm (RK620055) and I believe the left one is RK620056 which I will get off amazon. Can someone confirm that?

I tried to get everything greasable so I could do less replacing down the road.

Let me know what you guys think. Feedback, criticism, recommendations, suggestions, instructions, and warnings are all welcome.

Thanks for reading

Hi there, I think you would be fine with the parts you have in mind. I did mine a year ago same model truck also. The whole thing including springs, shocks ; however i did not order online as i wanted to inspect before I purchased and the only problem i had was with the MOOG Tie rod ends they were mis-threaded and I had to exchange them. At which point I went with an in house brand and have had no ill effects. All the parts went in without difficulty, the only thing that was missing on the control arms was a threaded stub which holds the Brake line going to caliper. After 1000 miles and new alignment I re torqued everything for good measure. My only failure so far is the inexpensive sway bar links from LC arm to sway bar they are already failing so i plan to go with Poly very shortly.

Happy motoring, eh.

If its squeaking it might not be shocks at all? I design shocks for a living and shocks don't usually squeak. That's your control arm/sway bar bushings that are dry most likely.
