Hi there,

As the guys have already mentioned in their posts there are several thing to attack.

Common problems which i rectified you may look at replacing.
I did both Ball joints as our car have seperate ones on the control arm.

The bushings are worth doing at the same time for the expence with the ball joints.

Next the upper rubber mounts especially the rear fail due to the originals were underengineered.

If you have had the shocks from original i would do them, I did mine at 8 years.

Also the anti-roll bar links are a common problem causing clocking noises on the front end.

Then check if there is any play in the trackrods.

just my experiences
