Wes;
    While you have it all apart, I would highly recommend doing everything,
including all bushings,  upper and lower ball joints, and tie rods.  Then
get it aligned.  You will now have a front end that drives like new for the
next 15-20 years.  The parts are rediculously cheap.  Your labor you can
value yourself.
     It this time in the life of these vehicles, it is time to restore, not
repair. While you have the front end apart, do the full Monty and forget
about it for a long, long time.

    My 2 cents
    John
