'96 Civic CX Subframe replacement
I have a '96 CX hatchback (AT with PS) that has a severely rusted front subframe (thanks, upper midwest winter salt!). I am thinking of tackling a swap of the subframe with a salvaged part. I'm wondering what other bushings I should look at replacing as long as I have everything taken apart on the front end.
I replaced the upper control arms two years ago (worn upper ball joints). I had both front half shafts replaced 25k ago. I installed new rotors, pads and rebuilt calipers about three years ago.
Should I think about the lower ball joint? Other bushings or parts?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Are the ball joints and bushings showing wear? If so replace them... While you have the subframe/rack out replace the rack bushings.
Personaly, I would replace the bushings/ball joints while I was in there.
