I see you are using a DSP approved clamp on that dust boot.

I'm betting on "present."

I'm surprised at this, but all the bearings are smooth and don't have any noticeable play. My ZHP went through both front wheel bearings in my ownership. The DSP car hasn't needed any yet. But it only has 8,100 miles

I mean, with 170k, and significant disassembly, I'd probably at least do the rear bearings.

What tie rods did you use for this? And did you use the OEM springs?

Shocks and tie rods are a little bit lower on my list, but I want to start thinking about what to buy for that project.
