Default Refreshing the Entire Front Suspension.

New 04 GX. It needs a new suspension. I will be keeping it a while. So rather then go with just what is worn I was thinking of replacing the vast majority of what I know wears out on most cars at this age. I don't have a service manual and I need to get one. But I want to order the parts. Can you help me get a complete list?

- KYB Strut Mounts SM5724 Two 25.94 Each
- Upper and Lower Control arms. Left and right. Amazon has Detroit Axle ones with Ball Joint and all bushings. Two Uppers are 114.20 set, Lowers are 215.30 set
- Then the Shocks and Springs of my choice front and rear.
- Air bag delete kit in the rear.

I know I did not include the Inner or Outer Tie Rods. I am ok inspecting those myself. I can replace them later and realign that part myself if needed with out going back to the alignment shop. The rest needs caster and camber done so I can;t do that part.

Is that all of it?

why not just replace the bushing on the front end, why replace the parts?
