Suspension Overhaul

I'm planning an overhaul for the following below. Majority of parts will be Moog except for whether to use Energy or Moog bushings. Have I missed anything or something not right?

1. Moog Control Arms + Moog Bushings (RK622059 / RK622054 / RK623419 /RK623418)
2.
Front Inner Tie Rods
3. Front Outer Tie Rods
4. Tie Rod Boots

5. Front Sway Bar
6. Rear Sway Bar

8. Bellows
9. Sway Bar Bushings
10. Front Struts + Moog Mount: Nissan E4302-9DA0A
11. Rear Struts + Moog Mount: KYB SM5621

If you are doing all of this prophylactically, then I would go ahead and replace your Half Shafts and seals at the same time. While it is in the air, check the brakes out too and the wheel bearings. All of which can impact perceived suspension issues.

Of note: Remember the rears are shocks, not struts and the PN for the moog mount reflects that. Also, unless you are very comfortable with the "widow maker" spring compressors (I had to repeatedly reposition mine when I replaced the struts which can cause some serious pucker factor,) I would get the "quick struts." There are a few choices nowadays that weren't available years ago when I did mine.

Sounds like a fun project. Good luck and lets us know how it turns out!

I did a complete front-end rebuild on my 5th gen in December, everything you're doing, but included were axles and brakes. I'm on pretty new coilovers so those obviously were left alone. Also check motor mounts while you're in there. HAve fun.
