Question suspension/ balljoint / what else???

I want to replace all the under body suspension I can since my car is 15 years old and today I snapped my cv axle ( that JDM D15B pulls HARDDD lol) thank God it happened where it did cause I was just about to turn on the highway.

Anyway I bought a new cv axle from napa and installed it but wont be driving the car until tomorrow and was thinking I should start replacing all the other 15 year old parts

so what are all the names / parts I should replace on my 95 civic cx hatch
besides shock/ springs.

Thanks I have a pic of my broken cv axle ill post it when I find the usb cord

Have you ever changed your ball joints or tie rods or wheel bearing if its making a humming noise when you drive faster? I would check 1st if you need to change them or else it would be a waste of money imo.

Ball joints, suspension bushings, wheel bearings, brakes, anything that wears down over time basically.

Either check yourself or have a mechanic check it out.
There is a way to check upper/lower ball joints, inner/outter tie rods, bushings etc. Get the car up and do a visual inspection. IMO no need to replace something that is not bad yet.

Have a mechanic check all the critical joints out.

Read your service manual?
Also agree with Martin, who seems to be getting more and more bitter with each passing day lol.
