Hey guys need some help with some front end parts/maintenance. I am not a huge mechanical guy but do have some common sense and sort of idea as to what I want to fix/replace. I have a 2004 X that has quicklifts on all 4 corners and a 1.5"/1" BTF spacer lift with BTF UCAs. The X has about 148K miles on it so it is time for some front end parts to be replaced. I would like to replace all bushings up front--i replaced the sway bar end links when I installed the lift so I do not need bushings for those. The only thing I see that has not been replaced there are the sway bar bushings. Are there others? Also wanting to do the wheel bearings on all four corners and CV joints/axles. Also thinking I need to replace some of the tie rods/steering components as I have been hearing some mild popping when steering at super slow speeds. So basically I need help with replacing all the wear items on the front end and CV joints/axles for the rear. Also probably need to replace all the lower ball joints. I want good parts that will hold up a while so what do you guys recommend and what parts should I be looking to buy? Thanks in advance for the help.
