Bryan,
IMHO you should replace everything "wearable" that you can, while the
cars apart. Let your budget be your guide.
I have all the bearings (expensive) and seals (cheap) in my garage &
ready to go, while I have it apart. Also completely rebuilding the rear
brakes. I don't like to take it all apart again, when I can avoid it.
I had good luck with Moss and V.B. on these parts. However, you are
working with IRS, right? Mine is the live axle. So there may be some
differences in availablities.
