There are other stuff need to be looked after but for belts / tensioners / cooling system was replaced a year ago by previous owner.

My next first to do is tension strut, and control arm to get rid of this vibration and clunking from front.
If the ball joints are good replace the CABs with Powerflex, these have a greased stainless sleeve that floats in the poly bush. Those OE/OEM rubber bushes with mostly air-viod suck, and tear because they stress the rubber when arm moves up/down.

The job will cost around $100, or free if you buy the full CAB/Swaybar/Subframe set and get the discount, that's what I did.
