Front end overhaul needed?

I have a 07 500X2, and the tops of the tires are tipping in significantly. I am sure the ball joints need to be replaced, should I look into replacing the wheel bearings and springs also? I am going to be out of the states for a while so I will be able to save some money for parts and I would like to take care of it at one time. What else should I look for?

The biggest problem in front tires I have found are the wheel bearings. Total PITA to change but worth the effort. Ball joints aren't a bad idea. While your into it that far make sure you give all the CV joints/boots a good looking at. I replaced my bearings only to notice as I was reassembling that I was spinning grease out of a torn CV boot. On closer inspection I ended up pulling it all back apart and replacing all 4 boots.

check all the above but probably front spring sag causing tires to lean, get some Hd's from EPI or highlifter

I have been looking around at some of the parts I was going to replace and I cannot find anywhere that will ship them for less than like $60 to AK. I may have to go through the dealer.

I bought Polaris HD snow plow springs from the local dealer for $79. Cheaper than buying them on line when you add in the shipping.
