What are the common front end wear items?
My car has had limited front end work done and it's developed a click when I rock the wheel back and forth. It seems like it may be inner or outer tie rod end but if I am going to dive in I don't mind doing ball joints as well as I see they tend to be short lived. (correct?)
Are there any other problem areas I need to be aware of? I'm ready for an alignment and I'd rather have it in as good of shape as possible before that happens.
Thanks,
Evan

+1 on thtguy's comment. Having just gone through this, I recommend you bite the bullet and replace every bushing, ball joint, and tie rod in the front end...do it all at one time while you are in there.
