front end parts list

I need to replace my upper and lower control arm bushings...they are dry rot.
I am going to try to do the upper control arms along with the help of a forum member!! Thanks 79mercy!

I have a question about ball joints...
What should be the deciding factor to replace the ball joints?
How can you tell if they are worn out? I took a look at them the other day and they seem to have some kind of rubber on them, but it looks as though it is not cracked or leaking anything (I dont know if they will leak or not)

I am going to have a shop do the lower control arms. Should I have the ball joints done at the same time as the lower control arm bushings? Or is this something that should be replaced only if making some kind of noise?


I also think I will attempt the tierods and drag link and idler arm bushing
I just do not want to mess with the coil springs
