Good stock front end suspension parts?

[Theodoremartinez]

What stock front end suspension parts are longest lasting for my 1998 5.0 awd? I don’t wanna break the bank but want some oem quality decent parts with a lifetime warrantee if possible

People on here rave about the Mevotech TTX line. They aren't the cheapest but they also aren't crazy on Rock Auto. Supposed to be very well made.

For lower ball joints specifically, you can save some money but still get a very tough part from Dorman. DORMAN BJ86375RD. I installed these when I did my front end. I only drive on road, but they are clearly super solid and almost half the price of the TTX ones. Speaking only from Rock Auto. They can be pretty pricey elsewhere.

I do some light off-roading in the summer for camping but definitely looking for parts with a lifetime warranty. Any suggestions??

Both TTX parts from Mevotech and the Dorman LBJs I mentioned should have limited lifetime warrantys:

Personally, I would go for the Mevotech TTX upper control arms and outer tie rods (if needed) and save some money and get the Dorman BJ86375RD lower ball joints.

I'm sure other people here can weigh in re. shocks or anything else.

Thanks I’m all good on shocks and swaybar end links. I got the bilstein 4600s all around for struts, but I cheapoed out and got Carquest swaybar end links. So I might replace those.

The absolute best parts you can get would be motorcraft or Dana spicer… those are oem

After that
I second the Dorman heavy duty lower ball joints
Moog or ttx for the upper ball joints and control arms
Dorman makes a good sway bar link too

Dorman really stepping up their game as they acquire more and more companies

For wheel bearings timken is good
Of course motorcraft is best but they sell “service grade” wheel bearings now not as good as the factory bits, but better or as good as the aftermarket
