99Sierra
Newbie
It's payday so the parts are bought! I should be able to get this done in the next few weekends and I'll update this thread with some pics. I couldn't seem to find any lower control arm/ball joint assemblies for my '99, so I'm going to keep the original lowers and just replace the bushing and ball joints. I'm also leaving the steering shaft and steering box, I'll replace those if this does not tighten the steering up. New tires & alignment after this is all done too. Here's the final parts list:
