Default Need advice on front end maintenance...

I'm about to do front rotors, pads, calipers, hubs, and ball joints. Getting all new caliper bolts, hub bolts, and axle nuts. Brake hoses were done recently. Any other parts to consider while I'm this far in? Thanks.

I wouldn't do ball joints unless there is physical play in them. Not worth the headache to do. All of mine in both discos look trashed but have no play and drive great so they stay until they become more than a visual issue.

I know this is not related to the brakes, hubs, etc., but in the realm of front end maintenance check the steering rods (drag link and track bar). The joints in mine were VERY loose before I replaced them about five years ago.

All done 4 years ago. Actually replaced the joints a year ago. Terrafirma upgrades. So, all new joints done twice in 4 years.
