As I'm planning to do a major maintenance on my front (and maybe rear) suspension, I'm wondering what else besides a control arm kit and the coilovers themselves should be replaced as a wear item. It seems like a few people have responded to my previous posts about my suspension clunking and bottoming that my coilovers might have just reached the end of their lifespan. I know for sure that at least one of my front control arms are broken so I might as well do the whole front kit all at once. I don't know about the rear. Rear sway bar links are relatively cheap but when I inspected them they looked okay.

Is there anything else I should consider replacing since the whole suspension will come out anyway?

BTW, I'm still torn between replacing my Stasis Streetsports with Vogtland, Vogtland GTs or Eibach Pro Street S coilovers. This would be strictly for street use. It needs to use stiff enough spring rates to handle the additional 100+ lbs of audio equipment I have in the trunk.

dirty and soaked from all the ice and snow we've been tracking in from outside.

Is this the same as the strut bushing. If not, I'd replace that too ~$25/each

yes

Of course, cold by Hawaii standards means daytime temps in the mid 70s and nighttime in the low 60's

I'm in a similar boat, maybe not quite sas much clunk as you.

I've noticed i'm getting more pad knock recently. I'll be doing the front bearings soon because of it. I did the rears about 15K ago.
