Items to replace when replacing Suspension

[kaizoo]

I plan on having my 1998 Camry 2.2L front and rear struts replaced. after reading a ton of stuff on this site, I feel that when replacing struts the following items should also be replaced:
4 new KYB Struts
Left Front Strut Mount
Right front Strut Mount
Left Rear Strut Mount
Right Rear Strut Mount
Left and Right Front lower Insulator
Left and Right Lower Front Insulator
Left and Right Rear Lower Insulator
Left and Right Rear Upper Insulator

Please let me know if there are other items you guys thing that should also be replaced with this work. Your input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

if you have the money, i would strongly suggest replacing the springs too [if your struts are shot, chances are the springs could use a makeover too]

i am not sure if the boots are included in the strut mount, if not, take a look at the old one see if it is still in good condition or torn.

the boots arent included, i forgot about that one ... if your old boots are torn, get some KYB boots ... theyre only like $14 a piece

Just FYI - I told my mechanic to replace anything and everything that looked worn when he did my new springs/struts. He didn't touch the mounts, bearings, isolators, boots, etc. He said they were all completely fine and couldn't justify charging me for parts that weren't the least bit worn out. I expected all new parts, almost begged him to reconsider, but he wouldn't do it. Either I've got a great mechanic or a stupid one (I choose to believe the former).

look at the parts yourself ... i can see that my boots are clearly torn, it doesnt take a mechanic to know that one

the mounts will pop/click if theyre getting old ... idk about bearings or insulators

The rear upper insulators comes with the rear strut mounts (at least the KYB ones). Are you sure you need to replace everything? It's going to be pricey.

I am sure if I should replace everything. But reading the forum people suggest that you should change the Strut mounts, boots and insulators as these item do wear off after 8 or 9 years of use. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
