Greetings! I sprung for the lifetime alignment for my 2002 Santa Fe at firestone, on sale for $180, and two front tires because I noticed negative chamber and the inner tire, particularly passanger side, was in bad shape.

I was told they could not perform the alignment because it needed the passanger lower control arm bushing/ball joint replaced, and both CV axle boots were torn and the axles needed to be replaced.

Of course they wanted a bunch of $$$ to do this, so I decided to take a friday off work and invest in swapping a few of the front end components. My odometer stopped working at 185k, and by now the car is definitely over 200k in miles. I plan to keep it for at least 2 or 3 more years, and will be doing some extra commuting, so I told the wife we gotta pony up the cash for the maintence.

Here's what I am planning to swap so far:

- Front LH and RH lower control arms, since they come with the bushings and ball joint.
- Front LH and RH CV axle, plus new boots
- Front LH and RH inner tie rods, plus new boots
- Front LH and RH outer tie rods
- Front rotors and ceramic pads
- Front new axle nuts (2)
- Rear rotors and ceramic pads
- New codder pins for control arm bushing and maybe outer tie rod/axle nut?
- Grease gun and grease for outer tie rod??
- Break cleaner
- Break pad/shim grease
- New clean pans to catch trans fluid, and I have 1 unopened quart left from when I had the trans fluid changed.
- I'm also changing the serpentine belt.
- I will borrow that inner tie rod kit to remove it.

1) Can anyone tell me if there's other parts I should change since I'll be doing all this front end work?

2) Do aftermarket outer tie rods usually come greased, or do I need to buy a grease gun? What kind of grease should I buy?

3) Do any of the parts I'm changing need additional grease? Like the lower control arm bushing, or where the CV axle meets the transmission case?

4) I watched YouTube videos on changing the Tie rods, and lower control arm since I never changed those. But if anyone has a good picture guide they can link me, much appreciated.

5) Bonus question: If I straighten my wheel, the car goes fairly hard to the right. While I'm down there, what can I adjust to straighten the wheel?

Thank you in advanced for your help! I will be taking many pictures and I hope to put together a nice picture guide on this for others
