Ball Joints and more

With almost 300k miles on the clock, the upper right ball joint is worn out. I plan on replacing shocks and tie rods along with the ball joints. The tires don't show any uneven wear and I haven't noticed any problems with the steering. What else would you replace or consider replacing?

I just did all of my front end a couple of months ago. I would definitely check the steering box and wheel bearings.

Do NOT get the adjustable balljoints unless your camber is off. They are unnecessary & a pita to get adjusted correctly. Most shops don't want to take the time.

Do not use Moog lower balljoints. Go with XRF.
