well I never swapped the tie rods or ball joints, everything was still nice and tight, being the car has been down more than its been up ( and she hasn't been driven much since I had been deploying alot and the wife hates driving her). so it was a full bushing swap front to back, finishing up the steering column rebuild (Thanks to FABO for the rebuild/bearing info) I will do a test drive soon, need to make sure i have my coolant demons sorted first, but thank you to all for the very helpful replies !!!
