Need front suspension guidance

Great advice has already been given.

One more thing, after you're done you'll need a front end alignment immediately.
Yes, great advice for sure, although I've ascertained that some are in the "re-use old parts if they are still good", camp. And other camp says to use new parts. Both are valid. I decided to clean them up, analyze to see if they are still good, and use 'em if they are. Reboot the ones that need that as well. Heck, who knows what will happen once I get into the process! And yeah, an alignment is a no-brainer. Thanks for that.
