Lexus Repair: Shocks R&R, 1995 lexus sc400, control arm bushings

Question
Jason,
I have a 1995 Lexus SC400 and the car has been great. I plan on changing the front and rear shocks on this vehicle. My question is other items should I be replacing while changing the shocks. Like when you change your oil, you replace your filter or when you change your spark plugs, you change your wires. My springs are fine but what other items would you typically change while r&r'd your Lexus shocks?  

Answer
Hello Brendan,
  While you are at it, You can go ahead and change the front control arm bushings.  The bushings are $200 a set. Have them press out by a front end shop.  Take care.
