'96 Civic CX Subframe replacement

I have a '96 CX hatchback that has a severely rusted front subframe (thanks, upper midwest winter salt!). I am thinking of tackling a swap of the subframe with a salvaged part. I'm wondering what other bushings I should look at replacing as long as I have everything taken apart on the front end.

I replaced the upper control arms two years ago (worn upper ball joints). I had both front half shafts replaced 25k ago. I installed new rotors, pads and rebuilt calipers about three years ago.

Should I think about the lower ball joint? Other bushings or parts?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Honestly if you can afford it, if you have any doubts about ANY part replace it! And for bushings I would say check out suspension energy... they sell complete bushing kits, and you will also get way better responce from the steering!
