I can do shocks and end links and LCAs and what not myself.

but any parts i can hand them while they got the subframe bushings out that would be worth while?

all parts will be OEM from Toyota. Thanks

Possibly the upper control arm bushings. Or the full arm assembly with ball joint (possibly easy enough to do yourself, but super easy if you have the subframe out).

just realized the subframe bushings themselves dont come with the rear subframe (which includes the DIFF bushings)

Are you supposed to swap out the subframe bushings?

Should the front strut mount/tower bolts/locking nut/upper & lower strut bolts be replaced or reused when installing a new front strut?
