Hi, Craig.

Just done this job. I replaced...

Top link rubbers-where the swivel attaches to the shock.
Sway bar end bushes.
Sway bar staples and rubbers-frame rot repaired above both staples, which
were also thin.
Bottom link (fulcrum) bushes-check your seals at least.
Track rod ends.
Bump stops.

I replaced a whole lot more but my suspension hadn't been touched in ages.
However, IMHO, check the above parts.

Cheers,

Dave Hill
