I'm replacing the control arms, sway bar links, struts, and upper lower mounts. I have original Volvo control arms and sway bar links, Sachs Advantage struts and Sachs upper and lower mounts. The car has about 230,000 miles. The front control arms (bushings) are shot on both sides and the lower strut mounts are gone. The sway bar link on the passenger side it gone too. So I'm replacing everything except the ball joints, which seem to be fine.

Question: should I replace the rear shocks. I ordered Sachs Advantage with the other parts because I figured I should change them, but they seem to be fine. Sachs shocks last a long time!

The car will get a four-wheel alignment as soon as the work is done.
