I recently replaced my shocks and springs along with sway bar endlinks and inner and outer tierods. I just had 2 questions, first, how many bearings and balljoints are on the front and rear of the car and I was also wondering if another allignment would be neccesrary after replacing bearings and ball joints?

There is an upper and lower ball joints on each side, plus 2 upper and 2 lower bushings. There is also an inner and outer tie rod, although you probably just need to replace the outers. I used all moog parts and also got the front vertical problem solver bushings.


It's probably best to get an alignment afterwards. Worn components can allow a 'good' alignment when sitting still then things move when driving. You also don't know how good the current alignment is. For all the effort you might as well finish the job properly.

^ This is true for an F-Body, but the OP hasn't told us what kind of car they are driving...

I too replaced my front end with Moog bushings and ball joints.
