So 156k miles have wreck havic on my suspension. I plan to change tie rod ends today. Should I purchase new control arms? Or change out the ball joint and bushings?
Should the control arm be addressed before the wheel bearings which need changed too? I can't do all the work at one time. I am hoping to tackle one item a week so want to get the safety issues first.
Doing tie rods first because it looks the easy one, and will give me a better ideal what all is wore out.

when I did struts and all that, I decided to also get new lower control arms as they're cheap enough and come with new ball joints. I think it's easier to change an LCA than a ball joint having to grind the bolts and everything.

The best way to do it would be in all one shot, honestly. One thing can wear another out
