John :
The nylon bushings in the lower inner pivots certainly wear, and are cheap
enough that I see no sense in not replacing them while you have the suspension
apart. The lower outer pivots should be inspected carefully, I suspect you will
find significant wear there too. Note that the brass bushings in the wishbones
need to be reamed after installation. The upper ball joint lasts a long time,
it may be OK, but should be inspected. However, it's also a lot less work to
change later. The thrust washers are probably OK.
