how often to replace
hey everyone i had another suspension question, ive been rebuilding the complete suspension setup on my car and i did everything in the front and i did the rear subframe bushings and the rear lower control arm bushings, i need to replace the bushings on the knockles and i was wondering if i should replace the rear tie rods, thrust trailing arm and the front top arm but not the rear arm because i have ghost riders camber kit which replaced that. none of them are bent or have any damage i just dont know how often those bushings go bad on those arms and the tie rod(the rear). my car has been swerving in the back at higher freeway speeds and i think it may have something to do with the alignment but i want to change every necessary part before getting my alignment done.
also another question: i just repaced my motor mounts about a month and a half ago and the car still shakes bad at idle what could that be?

For the car shaking at idle, look into spark plugs and possibly the wires.
