My upper left or passenger side ball joint has a fair amount of slop in it. But every thing else is tight. There is no weird tire wear or loose steering. I'm rolling up on 140,000 all stock front end except steering box staibilizer. What's y'all's suggestions

Its hard to say, depends how you keep your truck, For example I have more miles than you but had the same issue, i ended up replacing everything that moves in the front(except for gears and gear bearings) because to do ball joints you have to pull the axles so i did wheel bearings, ujoints , ball joints and steering just cuz it was loose and i was already in there, that being said its cost money :) so its up to you if you want to go back in in 20,000 miles to replace a bearing, or a Ujoint, possibly

I'm going to do Ball Joints, U Joints, Brake Pads at same time
I'm not sure if wheel bearings are also required - looking for recommendations on replacement.

What else should be done at the same time? I am hoping to save a bit of money and do the steering linkage upgrades afterwards..
