Going through the rear susp - the usual suspects?

![Question](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I've just completed a front suspension rebuild on my '88 plain-jane 944 which included the following:
- S2 sport struts (M474) with stock S2 springs (narrower springs required for the S2 struts)
- New strut mounts
- New control arms
- New inner and outer sway bar bushings (the car came from the factory with a 25.5 bar)
- New rack mounts
- New tie rods
- New wheel bearings
- New rear a-arm mounts (the mount where the caster eccentric is)
- New camber eccentrics and hardware
I'm going through the rear suspension now. So far:
- S2 sport shocks (M474 - like in the front)
- Inner sway bar bushings (bar to body mounts)
- Front torsion tube mounts (cylindrical)
- ???
So what else do I need to look at to do an equivalent sort of rebuild to the front? Basically I want to replace any rubber mount or bushing. I think there's a pair of rear mounts for the torsion tube assembly somewhere along the body roughly above the outer cv joint? Do people replace these? There are also spring plate bushings. What do you have to do to get these out? And is there anything else in there I should look at? Sway bar end links maybe?
Thanks,
Bryan
