Suspension overhaul

My car is close to 75000 miles, and I think that suspension needs some work. There is nothing really broken there, but car just does not feel as it used to. I understand that I likely need to replace shocks and springs all around. But what else is worth to change there?

Unless something else is broken that should do it
Check the sway bar bushings for wear as well...Energy makes nice cheap replacements
...you likely will need new endlinks as well...they get worn ( plastic)

Lube the lower control arm bolts. and the steering rod adjusters when you have it apart..they tend to rust and seize easily
