I've got an 07 1500 5.7 4x4.

Currently I'm in need of a waterpump. Dont want to break the bank but also dont want to skimp out. What brands do yall reccomend for waterpump replacements?

Also I'm in need of doing the front suspension. I'll be needing to replace inner outer tie rods. And the ball joints along with upper and lower control arms. And if theres a kit the hardware for the upper and lower control arms.
Any recommendations? Trucks been feeling like a bloated blimp floating across the highway as of late.

Honestly, one of the best online one stop auto parts stores I've used is Rock Auto.

I've compared pricing on a lot of parts there, with shipping, and they are as low if not lower than my local parts stores. And they definitely beat dealer pricing.

PartsGeek.com is also a good source.

A good remanufactured water pump should do you just fine. You can also get new ones if you wish at either of those souces mentioned above.

As far as the front suspension pieces I'd use the same to online stores and see what they have. If they list Moog parts, get those as they are good quality and last.

I've used rockauto in the past.

I'm wondering as far as Murray, gates etc brand wise. Mopar seems to be the priciest and havent always been happy with what mopar quality is lately.

Also moog I've heard mixed reviews I'm guessing due to different tiers of their products. I've seen they have economy based ones, daily and extreme conditions. I've definitely been fond of moog over OEM and cant shell out the prices synergy asks for these days

I swapped my OE water pump out back in July with a GMB from RockAuto. A good thing too, one of the plastic impeller blades was cracked pretty good, I have no idea how much longer it would have lasted.
