Default Whole new front end?

While looking into my lack of power ( 10 PSI fuel pressure, should be 35-45, so new fuel pump it is ) they also looked at the play I had in the front end.

I've been told it needs new upper and lower ball joints, pitman arm, and idler arm.

Would it be a good idea to hit the tie rod ends as well for grins, since I'll be right there?

Anything else since I've diving that much into the front end?

I've found this excellent post for the ball joints:

And one on the idler arm:

And a notice by dodgerules86 in:

About wriiting nice tutorials on all of these, but can't seem to find them, were they written?

Something that sounded odd, they recommended the pitman/idler arm be replaced asap, they were so bad that they might fall off at any time. Is that even possible? I can imagine them being loose ( lots of play ), but thats some pretty big bolts and nuts keepign everything together under there.
