I have a '99 XLT 4x4 and I'm getting that infamous clunk/rattle/squeak/grind from the front end. Sway bar looked solid but I went ahead and replaced the bushings and both end links as I noticed they were shot, as well as the tie rod ends. Of course none of that made a #### hair worth of difference so I've narrowed it down to ball joints and hubs based on the symptoms and what I've read on other threads as well as having a few mechanics check it out.
The truck has 137k on stock hubs, CV's, etc. (also seen more than enough 4x4 action
) and I was wondering if there would be any damage to the CV axle from driving with sh*tty hubs for so long..coupled with the way I abuse the truck lol. Hubs are already gonna cost me an arm and maybe both legs so I'm hoping I don't have to ##### with the CV's too. ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated!

130,000miles on stock hubs it seems if I even splash mine in water there toast, you might be ok on the CV's grab the center of the CV and check for any play up and down side to side, also maybe go to a junk yard and get a couple used ones if you think they're going out being that you 4x4 and such.
