Hi guys, so I'm gonna be changing over my front beam hopefully this weekend. Is there anything I should change at he same time as a "general rule?" like how you'd generally change gaskets whenever you do oil chNge/ etc.

Any other advise for me?

Thanks guys!

Is it a complete beam or a bare one?

Seals, ball joints, tie rods and steering damper all might need to be replaced.

It's a complete beam (second hand from a friend, seems to be in pretty good cond) but I'm hoping to only use the beam itself as my current one is lowered. - so want to keep the rest of the setup the same.

How would I know if they're any good or not?
