Alright, I am certain my front driveshaft u-joints and CV joint is shot. So, I thought while I am in there I might as well do it all at the same time. My main question is am I hitting everything I am needing to?? I am using denny's driveshafts, ECGS, and amazon for parts:

CV-355-4: Which includes... (from denny's)
-(1) Spicer 211355x centering yoke
-(3) Spicer 5-1310x non-greasable u-joints
-(4) grade 8 bolts
-(1) spring

Spicer 5-760x front axle u-joints (2) (denny's)

Dana 30 Spicer ball joints upper and lower (2) (ECGS)

Dana Spicer 706030x outer pinion bearing kit...is it typical to replace this too?? (amazon)

If i get the CV kit from denny's would I need to get a Moog 617 CV ball repair kit??

Only other small things would be more u-joint straps and a dust boot maybe?? Thanks in adavnce for any input.

Yea, dennysdriveshaft.com website has that exact same package deal for $92.50 and free shipping code:pBB. The ball joints aren't binding, but I think the highway ride would be better getting rid of a bit of the shimmy I have since my tires were just balanced. The axle u-joints aren't binding either just yet and no resistance at a full turn or anything, but that will also probably help with the overall handling so Ill go ahead and get those too. Would it be a good idea to replace anything else while I am in there? Such as the outer pinion bearing 706030x for the front as well? Both seals front and back look a little wet, but nothing significant...so probably not needed yet? Only other thing I was thinking about doing is changing out T-case and tranny fluid, but have never done this before and I know certain brands are preferred for NV3550/NP231, but ignorant in this area on the specifics.
