Default Replacing Struts & half shaft - what else?

My 98 S70 non turbo with 146K miles needs new struts- it bounces several times when I push down / release when stopped. I have done no supension updates though I will need to replace the drivers side half shaft as the boot is torn. My question is: while I have it apart, what else should I replace??? Springs? bearings? Steering? control arms? ???????????

Springs are probably okay. Make sure you get all the smaller parts to go with struts - strut mounts and spring seats, etc.... then at 150k, I'd say also get lower control arms with integral ball joints and the inner/outer tie rods.
