When I had mine done on the 98, I had both the uppers & lowers replaced. I
figure since it's a total PITA to do them, might as well do them all and
eliminate the possibility of going through it again in a few months.
On the bushings, do them all since youre gonna have most of the front
suspension torn apart anyway. Energy suspension is the way to go with
those.
