Hey guys, I just bought a 2k Suburban, I am replacing the ball joints and I was wandering if there was anything I may need to change for the heck of it while I am dirty?

 

I would take it to Les Schwab and have them do a free inspection with a written quote. Then you have an itemized list of everything that could be replaced if you wanted everything to be perfect. They will list everything, including things that could last a while longer before being replaced, but that do show at least some level of wear.

 

Get an alignment after you finish.

 

A wheel alignment is not needed unless the tires or some other component were changed and an alignment was completed with a failing or failed ball joint.

 

Since you are already there, I would recommend replacing stabilizer bar end links.

 

You said you were replacing the ball joints.
