Brakes and Suspension Rebuild
I have a tire pressure monitoring system in my truck and one day coming back from the lake my truck starts to shake violently side to side. I pull over and check all the tires, lug nuts and inspect the front suspension. All looked fine. When I got home I jacked the front up and the right front tire sounded like it had rocks in it. The tire pressure sensor came of in 12 pieces. I just took it to the tire shop so they could get it out and I could go on the freeway again. It had needed to be aligned for a while so I told them to do it. They told me the lower ball joints are bad so they can't align it. I just finished putting tons of money in here! They also said the front brakes were at 10% if I was lucky and the rear was at 20%. That I expected. So guess what. This now gives me the excuse to lower my truck!
I'm going to rebuild the front suspension - here is my parts list - see anything more I need? All Moog for the suspension parts. Lower & upper ball joints drag link tie rods bushing kit (PST) Shocks Flip kit w/ notch 2.5 drop spindles Brakes hawk pads powerslot rotors wheel bearings brake shoes russel brake lines brake fluid Where is the best place to get the suspension parts and what lowering company should I go with for the spindle and flip kit?
