Let’s talk Front End Rebuild

[Luke87gt]

Hi all, my 1969 c10 is badly in need of a front suspension rebuild.

I was planning on replacing the following parts using either Moog or Mevotech replacement parts from RockAuto (for years I used Moog in all my cars but since switched over to Mevotech and have been pleased with the quality/value).

I was hoping to check with you guys about what the go-to brand you guys are using here and if I should make consideration for any other options before placing the order.

Parts list:

- upper/lower ball joints
- idler arm
- Pittman arm
- sway bar bushings
- control arm shaft kit
- inner/outer tie rods and sleeve

Questions:

1.) do these front control arms have bushings? I don’t see anything listed on RockAuto other than the shaft kit

2.) is there a steering damper in these trucks?

3.) other than what’s shown above, is there anything else I should look at to reduce the steering slop/play

Also, can anyone link me to shorter front/rear bump stops? I will be doing a 2/4 or 3/5 drop eventually.

Big thank you!
