I've just had one of the top shock bushes pop out in my 1995 940 SE Turbo estate. It has been due a shock replacement for a while so I plan to a good overhaul.

I shall replace both shocks and top shock bushes. What about the spring top/spring or any other parts are they worth replacing? Do I need any special tools?

I've fitted Bilstein Sport+ new springs on the back and replaced the front anti-roll bar bushes, and radius arm-bottom lever arm bushes in the last few years already. It still feels very sloppy compared to other 1996 cars I've driven.

Here is a detailed description of the tools, procedures, etc.
