I did exactly as Bunny did. Did it at 50k. The tranny shop who flushed my tranny told me I needed a new hub and idler/pitman. Wanted some outrageous price and there was no way I was paying it.
Got all MOOG/Timken from Rock Auto. Rented all the tools needed from Autozone and went at it.
Did the upper/lower ball joints, tie rods, idler/pitman, shocks, cognito support kit, hubs, and whatever else is up there I'm forgetting.
Biggest PITA was the pitman arm. It's at a ****ty angle and took almost a half day to get it off.
If you search my username I believe I listed the entire list of tools outside of your standard tool box items that you would need to do the job. There's quite a few actually. It was a chore just getting tools organized.
I did mine in the front driveway during summer. I drank a lot of beer...... a lot.
