Just bought this 2010 EL a few weeks ago. It's got 180k miles on it. I took it to the mechanic for a thorough look-over and they say it needs new shocks, front and rear, and upper control arms in the rear.

I'm about 90% convinced I'm going to try doing it myself, but I'm curious, since I'll be in there anyway, what other suspension components should I replace at the same time? Do I just go for break and replace everything I can reach, or what's the best way to check for wear and see what's really needed?
