i want to rebuild most of my front end suspension. i know i need tie rods and ball joints, but i am sure the rest of the front end could use a little freshening. my question is this...what parts should i upgrade to aftermarket, and what parts should i just stick with the stock (new of course) stuff?

as far as i know, stock tie rods are fine, but i need aftermarket adjusting sleeves. right?

also, the local suspension shop reccomended MOOG parts if i wanted to go for a heavier duty suspension.

i already plan on poly bushings, but what else should i upgrade? everyone is talking about this infamous "wonderbar", whats the deal with that thing?

my usage is pretty normal driving with a little crazy stuff here and there...no autocrossing or anything.

any and all input would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Yes, get Moog parts. Id get inner and outer tie rods, idler arm, centerlink and ball joints. Unless your tie rod adjusting sleeves are messed up, just reuse them.

The wonder bar ties the left and right frame rails together. It bolts in where the sway bar bolts are and is a worthwhile mod.
