Afternoon all,
I'm looking to completely replace majority of the front end suspension components on my 2011 Forte 2.0L. The car is coming up on 480,xxx km (~300k miles). I have never replaced anything with the exception of the sway bar links recently. I am also getting a fairly significant vibration while driving above 80km/h (50mph). Of course there are several different causes of this but I figure the suspension could use a refresh at this point anyways. I can't decide how many things I should be replacing but so far I was planning on the following:
Also toying with also replacing:
Has anybody done all of these components and can you recommend anything/give any tips if I should be doing anything extra? I'm not looking to put in an expensive/higher performance aftermarket - I just need something as good as OEM. I will likely purchase from Rock Auto for majority of these items. The only wheel hubs they have available at the moment are OEM (372$) and some 20-30$ ones which I assume are basically garbage. Any advice or recommendations on after market quality suspension parts?
Thanks guys,

- Inner/Outer tie rods
- Lower ball joints
- Control Arms
- Hub and bearing assembly (vibration issue?)
Also toying with also replacing:
- CV axles
- Strut tower/assembly
