Default What suspension parts to replace with front end rebuild

I'm looking to rebuild my front end on my 67 Catalina 2+2. I've got the shocks, springs, all four ball joints, inner tie rod ends, stabilizer links, and all bushings. Is this sufficient for a decent rebuild? Or should I also include new center link, inner tie rod ends, idler arms, etc. The steering on the car is quite a bit loose, feels like I'm driving a boat. I guess my question is what's the most important parts to replace for a decent job. Thanks.

Definately the idler arm and outer tie rod ends. I then think that you have covered the bases.....

Oops, I have the outer tie rod ends, not the inner. Thanks for your input.
