control arm question

my passenger side upper control arms are loose but not clunking and the driver side upper control arms have slight play in them but not as bad as the passenger side. i didnt check the lowers because the last time i had my car at the dealer they said there good and the uppers were the ones that need to be replaced. plus i dont have any clunking noise.

my question should i replace all 8 control arms and be done with it and not have to worry about them for awhile? i all ready have replaced my tie rod ends and i have h-sport front and rear sway bars coming and front upgraded sway links and rear metal sway links.

Yes I've replaced nearly all of them with Meyle stuff. I was shocked at how good it is! You won't be disapointed. I have some preconceived notions about non-factory aftermarket which were totally disproved! What a great product!

The steering feels BRAND new now! And my baby has 150k miles on it!
