'97 sierra steering overhaul

[r.ziegler8]

Need suggestions i want to replace my suspension and steering w/ good greasable parts to OE standard, no upgrade or lift kit, just replace everything. where can i go to order good kits / parts online for decent price not too cheap not too expensive, and please list every part that goes into replacing all of this for me.

ball joints wheel bearings control arms, all that i need it all done. its all orginal to this '97 and is starting to drop like flies one by one.

myself and a friend are doing the work ourselves. Just would rather it be this way. Id rather put 650 into more parts rather than pay 400 for some parts and 250 for labor.

Have A 1997 GMC K1500 Sierra SLE 5.7 V8... 4wd, 6 lug wheels... in great running condition w/ 94,000 miles on it, just needs tlc up front, the front two wheels are towed out very noticeably, i had got new tires for it and they are wearing faster and faster, i rotate them every 2500 miles.

Rockauto.com is a good place to order parts. I've used them and save quite a bit however, sometimes the local places may prove easier since you will be able to compare old parts to new parts.

Moog parts. O'Reilly carries them. As for the parts you need, you're going to have to research that yourself.

 

You'll need an alignment shop when you're done.

I just did a complete steering-suspension overhaul on a 97 K1500, 5.7L, 4x4. Monoroe Reflex shocks all the way around, Moog upper/lower ball joints, Moog upper control arms, Moog inner/outer tie rods, Moog pitman arm, Moog idler arm and bracket, and Moog sway bar bushings. Between Summint Racing and Amazon, the parts ran around $815.

 

I have to agree with the previous poster. This could get really complicated if you've never done it before. Pressing in those lower ball joints are a real PITA. You should be able to have a local shop install and align it for around $400.
