Sorry to hear that.

If you are just replacing broken parts w/ stock (used oem) parts, there's nothing to "do while you're under there".

Some things to check while you are under there:- condition of bushings - if you never replaced it, the tension rods are probably dying, the front lower control arm bushing is probably a lil saggy, etc.- look for small leaks from power steering rack, reservoir, etc- check your brake pads to see how worn they are- just normal maintenance stuff while you have the car up- a transmission drain/fill may not hurt either.
