another front end thread / question

I know this has been a hot topic on the forum and I have done a fair amount of searching - would like to run by you guys what I have so far and then ask a couple questions - going to try and do this next week if I can find time -

Shocks - Bilstein 5100
Track Bar - Carli adjustable
U-Joints - Spicer
Ball Joints - XRF
Tie Rod ends - any specific brands to stay away from?
Axles Seals - any specific brands to stay away from?

Wheel Bearings - in some older posts I read were some thought Timken was best and others OEM - for those of you who have used Timken, OEM or others, what's the recommendation now?

Any input on my other manf. choices and any helpful info is greatly appreciated.

If anyone would liek to suggest any suppliers that would be great as well.

THANKS -
RA

I can tell you that Timken bearings are very good. but i have had good luck with Oreilly's , they are japanese, not chinese and hold up very well at reasonable priceing. i don't buy OEM if anyone else makes it !
