It looks more than the tie rods need replacing, like hummerz said. I'm surprised you can steer at all.

The 7000's are just a tennco style shock (jmho). My sweet had those on her H3 in the front. I installed them for her. They were OK.

Ok so I’m replacing when r&p and both drive axels lower ball joint and both control arms and both Wheel bearings I buy most my stuff from Detroit axel before I spend this any suggestions and buying Bilsten 4600 shocks and taking skyjackers 7000 off other shocks seem nice but too expensive for me

If you replace the front half shafts do yourself a favor and use ONLY ACDelco as the rest are cheap for a reason & often too short.

I would not bother with switching from skyjackers to Bilstein. Save some dough and buy a quality shock that will go for miles.
