replacing suspension components?

i will be replacing my struts sometime this week, i ordered a set of new strut mounts, strut bearings, and dust boots. Is there anything else that i should replace while i'm at it? The car has 108k miles.

only if they are bad......especially tie rods...no need to replace them if they are not bad....ur sway bar bushings are prolyl shot and so are ur control arm bushings...but jsut for replacing struts you are good for now..i am assuming u got the dustboots w/ bump stops
