If all of the suspension components are original, then basically everything that has rubber bushings. Jack up your car so the wheels not touching the ground, have a buddy turn steering wheel left and right, and you under the car look at the tie rods, if you see the joints doesn't move smooth (looks like they want to pop out) its time to replace them. Also while the car jacked up, by hand, try to "wiggle" the wheels in X and Y axis. If wheels feel sloppy, its time to do some suspension maintenance. Check your shock booths for rips too, under the hood.
