Replacing front ball joints. Anything else while it' apart?

[johng_22]

Got up the courage to take on replacing front upper/lower ball joints myself after reading the great how-to's here. Is there anything else y'all would recommend I either check or replace while I've got things apart? I'd rather spend a little extra now than have to take her back apart again anytime soon.

Just the outters I assume? I've never replaced an inner before but I do see them listed....

Inners can be a pain, At a minimum I would check the outers.
