What about idler bracket, idler arm and pitman arm? Maybe close to 20k on TTX-ball joints and inner/outer tie rods and still rock solid.Old thread, which is not necessarily a bad thing as I am interested to know how the Mevotech TTX components are holding up. I am starting into the suspension of my 98 K1500 Suburban. I am 95% sure at 235K miles I am sitting on the stock or at best really, really old replacement suspension components. I am a proponent of upgrade as you replace so looking to beef up as I refresh the front end.
The tires that are currently on it are badly and unevenly worn. I do not know how long the PO was riding like that but clearly it indicates neglect and possibly issues with suspension geometry. Before I put the wheels and tires I have squirreled away for it I want the suspension sorted. Plus in the little I have driven it (~20 miles just to go to town to get it licensed) it wanders all over the road.
Thinking keep the LCA's and replace bushings and bj's, new UCA's and bj's, bump stops, tie rod ends, sway bar end links and bushings, shocks. Probably need brakes and rotors. Wouldn't mind sending the CV axles out for rebuild and balance.
While I'm sure it's possible, I've never heard of anyone looking for a rebalance of the CV shafts. They're short, and they spin about 1/3 to 1/4 the RPM of the driveshaft.Wouldn't mind sending the CV axles out for rebuild and balance.
I will say, I am intrigued by XRF parts. This kit or the correct package for your truck might be worth looking at.
