need advice on replacing several wear parts...
..on my '90 coupe. I'm thinking of having a bunch of rubber parts replaced, starting with the motor mounts. Are there any other things that would be good to change out at the same time? I'm thinking about saving labor cost here.
The car's got 133k miles on it, runs great in general. I did relace the upper strut mounts and the a-arm bushings, shocks and springs last year.
TIA

You said you replaces the a-arm bushings. Were you able to do those at your home? I just bought a set of Lower Control Arm (same as a-arm, right?) bushings today, and am not sure if I should plan on taking the control arms somewhere to have the bushings pressed in. Thanks in advance.

I had the bushings done at a local shop...
..and yes, a-arm and lower control arm is the same thing. I have heard people call it both things, so I don't know what the correct name for it is.
I watched my mechanic do the job. It didn't seem to be too difficult. However, having the car up on a lift is a big bonus.
