Something that's not been mentioned here is that if you replace your suspension parts with aftermarket versions, go into it knowing that if they're using poly bushings they'll last longer but make a lot of noise (squeaks, rattles, clunks).
I've gone to buying low mileage salvage suspension parts from Woody instead of rebuilt or new control arms because they seem to wear out so fast on my car. Might be the nasty Houston roads, or the nasty Houston heat and humidity... not sure. But I know I'm replacing at least one control arm piece on the front or back every 2 years with very little driving (6k a year max).
The rubber being used for German suspension parts (Porsche, BMW, Audi, MB) is really crap now. It used to be quite good in the 80s from what I'm told.
