Replacing front Struts and Upper Control Arms

What else needs changing that is absolutely necessary while in there?

I want to make sure I don't miss anything as it'll take a little before I get the parts and want to do it soon.

Thanks

year?

i would say if it hasnt been done do the front strut bars (or just the bushings) since you have to take the shocks out to do it.

I guess I should probably change the strut mounts too right?
