Watching this, after picking up today my 2011 Corolla with 2.0 engine (Asia) from the dealer, and I had all suspension parts replaced with OEM. Motor mounts (followed CCN's advice to just replace all 4), front struts + mounts, control arms + ball joints, rear shocks, stabilizer links and sway bar bushings. I wish I had done it sooner as I was starting to dread driving it on roads with not so good parts (daily route), but oh boy, the car is like new, feels like gliding over the roads now.
Came around 2 grand total, but every cent well spent. The car is virtually rust-free, engine is great (except for occassional VVTI rattle), transmission is great, 70k miles. New cars are too expensive these days, I reckon, I'm keeping this one until end of time.
