Assemble the parts and see how sloppy they are.

I've done it both ways, but unless funds are a serious problem, I'd replace
them. Everything else is pretty much fail-safe, but if those brass threads wear
enough to pull out ... the front of the car drops on the pavement.

I found that the rubber bushings were definitely tired after only a year of
daily driving, and pretty much toast by two years. I switched to Nylatron
mostly to get longer life out of them.
