Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

replacing wheel hubs, what else would you replace?

Trailblazer and Envoy related, but not off-road related...

Long time lurker, first time poster...
I've had my '02 Envoy for a year and a half, it now has 107,000 miles.
Replacing the wheel hubs & CV drive shafts have been on my to-do list, the passenger hub is starting to whine so I need to get these parts and git'er done.
My question is while I have the front end torn apart, what else would you replace? Struts, upper ball joints & sway bar links are new.
I'm going to install new brake dust shields, rotors & pads. calipers seem OK but with 16 years maybe they should get on the list. Also going to install new lower control arm / lower ball joint assembly. I just don't want to put old parts back on and regret it later. Any input from your expreience is greatly appreciated!

Go through the disconnect while you're in that far.

Thanks, I was at first worried it was the disconnect but am sure it the hub.
