Bushings et al
Hi Everyone,
My 2008 RX350 has about 93,000 miles on it. I just purchased OEM struts for all 4 locations just as a maintenance item. I'm thinking that while doing this work, I should look to see what state the various bushings, etc. are in and possibly replace them too if necessary.
My question is what bushings, etc. should I be looking at for wear at this mileage? The car rides quite well and I don't notice any clunks or other suspension noises.
Thanks for your help.
Bob

Front and rear sway bar links (if rears are worn look at Matt's mention of using a Ford replacement it saved me a lot of money)
Front and rear sway bar bushings
Lower control arms (front) and ball joints
While there take a look at your steering arm boots look for tears/holes they are cheap and easy to replace)
