The only thing I DON'T know if it's worn is the guide rod mount, those usually are worn out when the control arm goes out too. From what I've seen from the history of this car, the previous owner didn't do ANYTHING to the car. I've replaced tons of stuff because of neglect. When I got the car the tie rods where new! New Meyle junk that failed in less than 10k miles.

As I know of.


Tie rods
Front Control arms
Idler arm
Shocks
Steering dampener
Center link are all shot.


I'll check other components when I get time

Don't forget to grease the screw and threads on the spring compressor.
