it may be a dumb question, but whats the point of fixing these things if nothing is wrong with them?

Follow "liven Z life's" advice, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"! UNLESS you've piled
up many, many miles, & are going by the Owner's Manual maintenance schedule. Good luck!

Driveshaft and doors should be changed too. Wouldnt hurt to do the steering wheel either.
