Definitely overkill. Also keep in mind that generally replacement aftermarket parts seem to not last as long as the originals for some reason. I currently run a 2000 Explorer with over 230,000 miles on it with ALL ORIGINAL hubs, bearings, and control arms. There is NO NEED to replace parts with no significant wear on them. That is just an exercise in doing needless work and spending money unnecessarily. Struts do age. I can see freshening them up. Control arms rarely fail, and only need replacement when the bushings get worn and loose. Brake pads and rotors are consumable/disposable, and should be replaced as needed. Tie rod ends should be replaced when they start getting some play in them.
Just arbitrarily replacing parts is simply wasteful and foolish IMHO. Consider if you had the car in the shop, and the mechanic recommended all of teh work that you just outlined. Would you feel that he/she was overselling you??
