Alright, I took my truck in for a squeak yesterday and turns out I need new upper and lower ball joints, bearings, and possibly tie rods. He told me $1,300-$1,400 for all the work. Luckily there's some really good people on this site, and a few, led by sk1er17, have volunteered their time next Sunday to help me repair everything. Considering I know jack schitt about the front suspension, this is huge.
sk1er sent me a list of the parts I will probably need from AdvanceAutoParts.com, and I want to list them here to make sure everything checks out before I buy them. I've gone through them all, and they all look good to me, but as I said, I'm not knowledgeable on this stuff, and it would help to have some confirmation.
If you guys could check the part numbers for me and let me know if these are all good and what I'm going to need, that would be excellent.

Bearings: 515003 x2
Spindle Nuts: 664253 x2
Tie rod ends: ES3302 x2
Lower ball joints: 104222 x2
Upper ball joints: FA4054E x2 (this seems to include the entire control arm - is that necessary?)
Thanks in advance...
