I had the same issues with my '00 S with 94,000 miles. I started with my repair shop taking a look and giving advice. They did a drop link and a coffin arm replacement with no change. I took it upon myself to change out every drop link, sway bar bushing, coffin arm, trailing arm, etc. and after a good re-alignment almost everything sounded and felt better. I also did a full shock/strut replacement this year and all those noises are gone. I'd say with your mileage it's time for a full refresh on these parts. I was surprised that none of the rubber bushings looked dried and cracked until I put them next to the new parts. They had all compressed and shrunk from the years of use which left everything to rattle.
