Time for replacement 900 1994

I have a 94 940T with 119K 80% highway. The car is very clean and runs very well. I have just replaced the upper strut, engine and tranny mounts. I also am replacing the lower ball joints this weekend. I want to replace the rest of the suspension rubber and bushings. I have been buying my parts from Fcp Groton and will keep using them because of the excellent service. What do you all recommend I do first on the Rear suspension without having to take it to my mechanic. I am gathering a list of things to have him do that I would not be able to do in the driveway. What about the front suspension? What things can I replace on that in my driveway without the use of presses, etc. Thanks in advance.

The front control arm conical bushings can be done very easily (see the 700/900 FAQ). The rear control arm round bushings, in my experience, wear very slowly and at 119k will certainly not need replacement. Sway bar bushings also wear, are real cheap, and can be easily replaced.

As for the rear suspension, nothing wears rapidly and you can safely leave it alone, except for the shocks.
