Rear suspension is starting to make some clunky sounds and the mechanic who did my inspection told me the bushings were looking pretty bad... I figure its time soon to do some work on it.

Planning on just placing a massive order to fcp or somewhere for the parts- I am going to get the left/right trailing arm links- should I also replace the delta when i do this job? Any hangups I should be aware of when doing this- plan on doing it with just some jack stands and hand tools...

Mechanic also told me the front lower motor mount was looking bad too- I did just replace the upper mount so i wouldn't be surprised if the lower(s) was bad too- I didn't realize there was a "rear" one as well though... I see the rear is semi-hydraulic - is it worth replacing both lower mounts at the same time? The front one looks simple enough to hit from the wheel well - is the rear easy to replace/access as well?

Also looking to replace the front right CV as I am getting some vibration during straight line acceleration and at various speeds... its not consistent enough for me to think its a bend or a unbalanced wheel... any better diagnostic methods I could use?

I do know that when we put in the ipd springs the cv seemed to just "fall" out of the hub (wheel) ... it tooks us a lot of wiggling to get it to slot back in properly ... is that normal? Does the cv just sit pretty much- didn't really see anything securing it other than its location between the trans and wheel. (which i guess could be enough?)

Sorry for the rant of questions, thanks though- hoping to have this guy all fresh for Carlisle :)
