The original front cross member had some pitting on the upper control arm plate and I have a long bed parts truck that was much cleaner ,So I pulled the front member complete off the parts truck and stripped it down and bought all new parts to rebuild it . Upper and lower Moog control arm shaft kits , upper and lower Moog ball joints , inner and outer Moog tie rod ends / connectors, Moog pitman arm for power steering and Moog idler arm . Rock auto had the best price on all of it at one time and done . I thought about just replacing the shaft boots but it's apart and it was only a few hundred more to replace it all .
