Getting ready to rebuild my entire front end. I was just curious if any of you guys replace the control arm bushings along with everything else? Also last I checked my wheel bearings looked pretty good, my truck is pushing 200k miles should I replace them anyway?
always a good idea to replace wheel bearings, they are super easy to change. control arm bushings are also always a great thing to replace.
After 20 years and 200k miles, the bushings are probably in worse shape than the rest of the front end. It's just hard to quantify rubber elasticity and hardness without some uncommon and expensive tools. +1 WB are cheap and easy. you'll also have it all apart anyway.
