Maybe alignment, front, rear or both.

There really is no mileage component to an alignment.

Leave the alignment shop, hit a curb or a pothole, and you may need to head straight back in.

For lots of reasons (Range, handling, etc.) suspension components are often much lighter and less robust than in the past, and roads are generally much worse as well. This means that they are less able to withstand the many road hazards and still maintain proper alignment settings.

How many curbs, speedbumps, expansion joints, potholes, etc. might you have encountered in your 1000 miles?

Alignment could easily be the culprit here.

Cheers!
