Upper/Lower/Steering/Sway Bars E53

[Sphengali]

Hi everyone,

I have a 2002 4.4i E53, with 155,000 Miles (250,000 KM). I have an issue with the left steering control arm, so ordered up 2 new ones to be safe.

My question - I've watched lots of videos on the replacement, but now I'm wondering if I should replace the upper and lower control arms and sway bars for preventative maintenance at the same time? They 'seem' ok - but.

My main reason for thinking to do so - I don't know if I would have to 'remove' the steering arm to get to the upper/lower arms, I really don't want to have to R&R the steering arm more than once.

Thank you,

John
