Front end rebuild parts list.

[rascole]

I am prepping for my front end rebuild soon and I have already bought some of the parts. As I researched the parts I could not find 1 spot with all the part numbers together. I so thought I would try and put together a list of what I have found so far. Please add any part numbers or opinions of the manufactures parts. Some may be better than others but I have found that prices can be significantly different such as the hub assemblies, $140 a set for AM Parts to $250 each for OEM.

1. CV’s – Cardone Select 66-1417 – 3 each
2. CV axle seals – AC Delco 290-297 - 2 each
3. Inner Tie rods 16mm – Moog EV800609 – 2 each
4. Outer Tie rods 16mm – Moog ES800762 – 2 each
5. Sway bar links – AC Delco 45G20693– 2 each
6. Lower ball joints – AC Delco 45D2432 – 2 each
7. Upper control arm Left side – Dorman 521-949 – 1 each
8. Upper control arm Right side – Dorman 521-950 – 1 each
9. Lower control arm bushing front – OEM 15088365 – 2 each
10. Lower control arm bushing rear – OEM 15088366 – 2 each
11. Hub bearings – OEM 15874836 – 2 still need

Timken hubs. I think they were $150/ea at rockauto.
I went with oem lower control arm bushings. There's actually 4 (2 per side)... 1 is in the front of the control arm, 1 is pressed into the frame.
I ordered those same ball joints. Amazon used to have them for $23/ea but that's no more. Paid $36/ea
I need UCAs too and I saw Moog had some for $103 or $108/ea on rockauto. Dorman should be ok too though. I saw a pair of them for $155 online but not sure about those.

I could only find 1 part number for the LCA bushing so I take it the front and rear are the same?

 

[digglesworth]

No. They are not the same.
Front- 15088365
Rear- 15088366
Try those.

 

[rascole]

No. They are not the same.
Front- 15088365
Rear- 15088366
Try those.

Thanks, updated the list.

why do you have 3 CVs?

why do you have 3 CVs?

Trail spare. My original ones are on their last leg. They are the smaller ones and I don't want to have to replace it twice if I don't have to.

Might want to look at the front diff mounts if you are going to have the halfshafts out. I recommend the PCF mounts. You will need to ship them to Dwaine and he will do the upgrades. Also would be a goof time to replace the steering rack mount if you have the front diff floating there.

Add your alignment when done! [emoji482][emoji482]

Did these upgrades last year. Glad I did, the diff mount was shot.

Hi, I am up to this task pretty soon as well. I also need to get the rear suspension parts.
Where do you guys get the parts from?
I had a look at amazon and rockauto but they do not carry everything resp. do not ship overseas. Any hint would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Do you still need a lower ball joint?

 

[rascole]

I already have the lower ball joints. The only things I think I need are the UCA's and Hubs. Still researching brands.

 

[digglesworth]

I'm in the same boat. I've heard good things about timken bearings so check out those hubs. UCAs are a disposable part with our trucks so any brand should last you about the same mileage I would think. I can't believe we don't have any aftermarket options for UCAs yet...

 

[rascole]

I have had no luck in trying to find the AC Delco lower ball joints. Nobody has them in stock and it would be a late May/June delivery IF the manufacture makes them, that is from the the Jegs rep I just spoke to. Has anybody used another brand? How did they hold up?

 

[digglesworth]

i think theres another set of ac delcos that dont have a grease fitting... i had to order mine off ebay for a higher price than what i originally saw them on amazon for.

 

[rascole]

I called ACDelco too and she said that there is a current production order in so it may be a few weeks before they get distributed. There is also no other cross reference to another part that she could see so that means it is specific to the H3.

Because I bought my parts piece at a time I wish I would have paid attention to prices. I paid $230 for the tie rods and boots when a whole new steering rack cost $340 or cheaper.
The inner tie rods came with a small container of loctite, but they came out real easy. I can't remember using loctite before, has anyone else used loctite for tie rods?
