im thinking ... i'll probably do a refresh with the suspension components (except the springs probably, im quite happy with the height and spring rate) ... and be done with it.

the cars handling is a bit wiggly over bumps ... so i suspect all the items you mentioned below have probably aged.

The control arms are expensive relative to other suspension components.
What's the year/mileage of your car?

You might want to check out your drop links and sway bar bushings first, as new drop links are about $50 each and bushings are cheap.

Rebuilt track arms available for $150/ea from another vendor. Worn track arms make noise over small imperfections in the road or parking lot and are most annoying at low speeds.

Clunking can be a result of a worn strut bearing or mount. The bearing is about $50/side but you have to remove the entire strut assembly to replace, hence it may be time to replace the strut as well (~$250each).

Suspension stuff gets expensive fast!
