Lower Control Arms

[Foggy]

SO I'm thinkin it's getting time for a front susp refresh. I've got 140K on the clock. I have
zero issues now, so it's just a preventative maintenance thing... Going to do struts, springs,
UCA's, Tie Rods, Etc
But what do you think about the LCA's...???? Should I just get new assemblies??? Or reuse
my OE and put in new ball joints and bushings?
And how hard is it going to be doing the bushings Or even necessary ???
Thanks

If you replace the ball joints only you still have old bushings unless you replace them too. All that work and tools and aggravation is more than a new OE control arm.

I did save my old ones, thinking I'd replace the wear items and have them ready in ten years but now they're getting closer and closer to the garbage. Same with my old calipers, springs, front diff mounts, etc.!
