Just to correct and help you understand the names.
1. Control arm bushings, good thing to change at higher miles.
Did you replace the control arm with bushings/ball joints or get new bushings?
If new bushings rubber or polyurethane?
If you ever do go polyurethane (atleast from energy suspension) the red is just polyurethane, the black has graphite in it to help prevent squeaking.
2. Tie rod ends. Yes inner and out, you also have a tie rod sleeve.
The ends connect to the hub/spindle 4wd/2wd. The other end to the drag link/center link. (same thing) The tie rods are threaded one right hand one left hand thread. Righty tighty lefty loosey. The other is backwards, lefty tighty righty loosey.
So when the sleeve is turned it unscrews or screws both. That allows the tires placement to be adjusted for alignment.
Did you do the sway bar bushings or end links?
Summit has a kit for both from energy suspension for around $25.
Polyurethane is much stiffer and does not deflect/deform/squeeze near as much as rubber. Better handling, can be a bit rougher though.
What is the front ride height?
Low/stock/level/higher then the rear?
To low you can bottom out the shock, stock they should be fine, level should be fine may wear a little quicker, high they can fully extend and blow out.
Thank you for the attention and time,
1. Control arm bushings, good thing to change at higher miles.
Yes i replaced all the bushings and the ball joint (few months ago)
- rubbers the bushings (moog) the ball joint AC delco
2- 2. Tie rod ends. Yes inner and out,
- you also have a tie rod sleeve. (Used the old one did change it)
3- Did you do the sway bar bushings or end links?
Thanks for the reminder, i totally forgot about it I didn't touch it, but well buy the kit you recommend today.
4- What is the front ride height?
Stock! If I planned to lift it it won't be more than an inch.
By the way i went under the truck yesterday and started to move up an down i heard a squeak noise and the shocks sound like an empty tube! They didnot perform!!!
