I got timken assemblies. You'll need either a big 35mm or 36mm socket with breaker bar if you don't have an impact gun. I got all parts from Amazon.
You better have a big slide hammer.
Rust seals things in.
Clean things up before putting the new ones on.
Done! I also did sway bars. Not pictured are new control arms I put on a couple weeks later

If youre bearings go out repeatedly get an alignment.... Camber being out puts more stress on the bearings especially during turns..... Lowering and lifting will stress bearings as well because most shops dont know how to properly align a suspension thats been altered, i had to eyeball my front end when my tires were worn out and once i got it straight havent had a bearing problem since(knock on wood) but i have a lifetime warranty on mine, so if they do go out im covered.....tgui i hope you had that thing aligned after all of that!!!!

I need to replace all of my tie rods, but its about same price to get the beefier rare parts or congnito rods as it is to get moog or proline(since i for some odd reason have a line on pep boys parts, which most of them are reboxed moog or skf).... Not to mention they have a lifetime warranty on 95% of their parts...including brake pads so long as they arent wore slam out!!!

I need to do the brakes at the same time so I am trying to keep this on a budget. I will probably go with the timiken or Moog dependent on which ships cheaper. Unless I find out another brand is just a reboxed brand name for less. As far as cleaning it up is the best route to just hit it with a wirebrush and some brake cleaner?
