My 94 now has 201,000 miles on it. The only things I have replaced suspension-wise are the tie rods, upper control arms, the front air struts and the rear struts.
Not surprisingly my car makes AWFUL noises when I go over bumps. Everything sounds loose in the front and back. I attribute this to 2 factors:
1. The fact that I unfortunately got Arnott air struts for the front. They froze up a long time ago and as a result my ride is stiff and the front end gets hammered everytime I go over a bump. (Arnott never returned my emails)
2. Age/mileage.
The other problem is that my car seems to sway on the highway. I checked the rear sway bar and it is solid, but the rear driver's side tire wobbles when I grab it and shake it. I also get horrible squeeking noises coming from that wheel when I make slow left turns.
I would like to know what suspension components should be replaced at this mileage, and what could be causing this wobbly, squeeky rear wheel?
At this point, I am afraid to drive car, as am getting images of a lower control arm or bolt breaking at 70mph and me spinning off the highway in a wreck, or causing a 100 car pile-up.
Please help!

You wheel(s) may potentially fall off. Replace the FRONT HUBS ASAP! Also check for play in the rear hubs.
