Need Steering Help

[timelessconstructionllc]

My ball joints and tie rods all need replaced. I would like to do the 08 Steering Linkage upgrade but i'm not sure what all i need to get in addition to the steering linkage upgrade kit. It's going to be pretty pricey to get it all done at once. Is it ok to do just the balljoints or just the steering linkage and then in a few weeks do the other one, or would this be way more of a pain in the *** than it'd be worth. Can anyone give me a specific list of what exact parts i need to get as well as a list of recommended add on parts for the linkage as well. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Ok. I checked today and my ball joints are still tight enough to be acceptable so i can get by without replacing them for now. This is good because money is real tight right now and i need a new set of tires very badly, buti don't want to get new tires until i get my linkage fixed cause i don't want them all jacked up. My tie rod ends on the other hand are done for. Can anybody tell me if just replacing the front end linkage upgrade and the damper will help. I apologize for my ignorance but just learning and don't want to go about this wrong. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am not an expert but if there is any play at all in the ball joints i would replace them first. You can do them one at a time if you like. Then do the tie rod ends and adjust toe in.

But of course if the tie rod ends are really bad then change them and do toe in. When you replace worn ball joints you will have to do toe in again.
