    My rig needs this work:

    - TIE ROD ENDS (RIGHT AND LEFT)
    - PITMAN ARM LINK
    - RELAY ROD LINK
    - FRONT FLEX BRAKE LINES (LEFT AND RIGHT)
    - FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS (LEFT AND RIGHT)

    It's a 79 CJ5...is there anything I should be upgrading or replacing or rebuilding better while I am at this?

    Thanks.

    Just don't buy cheap bearings or rod end. Not saying you have to spend a weeks pay, but in these parts you get what you spend. You spend nothing that's what you get. Timken, or FAG bearings. There are other good ones too.
    TRW and Moog make good steering parts. http://www.northernautoparts.com/ECatalog.cfm?RequestType=GetParts&VehicleId=1180763&CategoryId=7428

    Check your ball joints while you've got it jacked up. grab a wheel and wiggle up and down and side to side. See how much play is in it.
