Front Struts and CV Joints

[AlienJ]

gmorning all. found this place with google. good stuff here, thanks!

This weekend, I am replacing my front struts and CV axles on my 2004 s40

For the struts I have bought:
KYB Strut Assembly L&R, Febi Strut Mounts, Febi Strut Bearings, bellows & bump stops.
Is there anything else i should check and replace while i have it apart?
I found the PDF post by MadeinJapan, and i follow instructions fairly well.
That post was for 2002, is there much difference in my 2004?

And i'm replacing the CV joints while i have it up and apart. all 4 boots have been ripped forever, i'm surprised nothing has failed yet. (watch me not make it home from work. haha)
This part of the job seems fairly easy, but all i've found is youtube vids.
Anyone have and tip or instructions for this one?

thanks all!
