I had to replace much of the front end suspension, as was wondering at 135k miles, what is the experience of others with the rear suspension components and need for replacement. Any one component that is most susceptible to failure. My front upper control arm ball joints were real mushy, does that occur on the rear as well?
Thank you for your help.

The rear suspension is hardly ever mentioned besides shock failures here and there. Control arms are not common at all on the rear end. The front lower suspension takes most of the abuse due to the weight of the engine. If anything, do your rear sway bar bushes and the front. Take a look at the links as well. My upper arms are fine at 139k miles on both the front and back.
