That could backfire when the buyer has an inspection and notices some components are newer. Unless you thoroughly detail and clean your suspension parts, and make sure you match brands ect, it'll be noticed and then there will be questions.
Personally, I'd be more comfortable buying a car with known and documented repairs, vs unexplained mystery work.
Bruh… you don't know the lengths people go through to cover it up. Just follow the forums.

Had an issue
It was significant
Got it fixed
Sold the car
