Replaced rear sway bar drop links.
Replaced front strut caps.
Sent shocks/struts to Bilstein to rebuild. Cost just over $100 per and they look brand new. Took like 6 weeks though. See pic below.
This is pretty much all the rubber suspension parts in your car.

I don't really know where to begin.
So, thanks for this list, that gives me a starting off point to think about what to do.
It sounds like the rear is a lot worse than the front.
Maybe it's smart to break this project up into 2 stages, front then rear.
I am going to jack up the car and try to jiggle the wheels.
If the wheel doesn't move, that means ball joints and bearings are fine, right?
I will go try to test the shocks today also.
Put my knee on the bumper and try to bounce it?
