One more thing. Since you have the front hubs and brakes off, you may want to go a little further and tear down the knuckles and knuckle flanges and pull the front axles out. Inside there are axle bushing and seals that most of the time need replacing. The knuckle flanges lower bearing cups usually need replacing because over time they develop groves from the cone bearing pounding it from going over holes in the road. All this leads to a knuckle that gets loose and the result is front wheel shake/shimmy. I recommend you go the extra step and also recondition this area and set the proper knuckle drag for good steering.
