i will soon be upgrading my suspension; Racing Beat springs and sway bars, Tokico HP shocks, DTSS emlinators, and new bushings all around. while im under there i plan to remove the control arms, and maybe the rear subframe, and have the cleaned/blasted and then painted/powdercoated. i was wondering, since ill have the rear control arms out, should i have the rear bearings replaced? the car has 111000 miles on it right now. im sure the bearing is still good but thought maybe i should replace it now since it will out of the car and easy to deal with.

 

I replaced mine at 150K, and they still seemed to be in pretty good shape. But, for $40 a side, plus a few hours labor, I'm glad I did it.
