Default Bushings...

So I am going to put all new suspension bushings to get my '98 GS300 refreshed a bit, just want to make sure I am not missing anything

Front Control Arm Bushings
Front Sway Bar Bushings
Rear Control Arm Bushings
Rear Sway Bar Bushings
Front Sway Bar Bushings
Rear Sway Bar Bushings
Front Control Arm Bushings
Rear Control Arm Bushings

I also wanna do the steering rack bushings. Anything else I should look at replacing? I did the lower ball joints earlier this year.

When you replace the upper bushings its best to just get the whole arm since you can't replace the ball joint.I have new ACDelco upper arms in the front and they've been good for 10,000 miles now
