You don't have to buy all those parts, but its up to you.
You need two of the eccentrics. You can re-use two.
The new bracket has shorter studs because the steel ball joint carrier is thinner. So if you re-use the old one, you'll have a little more of the stud showing after the nut is tightened.
I re-used my bracket, and the eccentrics. Have a can of PBlaster on hand. That and a breaker bar were necessary to get mine done. I used a ball joint puller from Harbor Freight on one side, but it broke trying to get the other one off. A pickle fork finally got it off after a struggle.
ALSO, very important. You'll need to "compress" the arm so that the top nut doesn't spin as you try and get the bottom nut off. You'll see what I mean. I gently jacked it up from the bottom, and wedged a piece of wood in the wheel well.
