While replacing UCA, lower BJ, tie-rod ends, what else should i examine for wear?
have an '06 harley edition with AWD/4H.
Don't know much more about the front end other than the items mentioned in the title.
i will also be adding some bilstein 5100 shocks when i do this work.
so what should i check/replace while i am into it that deep?
thanks

i was told ball joints were needed when i tried to have it aligned. they also quote $900
i just visually inspected them and they look okay. however, when the rain stops some day i will jack it up and check them closer...

well, today i took some time to examine the front end parts listed above.
i believe the dude at the alignment placed lied to me.
i have no tears in any ball joint covers, no leaks, no loose points where you can see play and no noises when i rock the wheel left/right or up/down. i had a friend help and neither of us saw anything visual.
i believe i will go to a shop in Dallas to get the alignment done. Not too many places up where i live that can align 22's.
Can someone recommend a good alignment shop in the north dallas suburbs?
thanks

A story for you - a few years ago my son in law took his 98 F-150 over to Goodyear to get state inspection done. They told him he needed 3 out of 4 ball joints. Took it over to a local tire shop, they said everything was fine, only needed an alignment, they aligned it and gave him a sticker.

not to me, at least not most of the time.
i am fairly mechanically inclined and don't take kindly when lied to by a shop.
their name will be mud with me and everyone i know if this truck gets aligned else where.,
