'00 2.5 RS Suspension/Steering Rebuild Advice

Ok here's the scoop

my 00 2.5 has 132k on it with the original suspension components. Usually like to do all the work myself. Suspension and steering are the 2 areas where I am lacking for mechanical knowhow.

For the past few months, my steering has gotten progressively looser and there are beginnings of rattles in my front suspension

Go over bumps/grooves at high speed and the car tracks with the pavement with no steering input yet I can feel the tension in the steering wheel change..just feels sloppy.


So, I am looking to rebuild the whole deal, goal is to get the steering tightened up and lose the rattles

Since I know hardly nothing about modern suspension, what needs to be/should replaced? tie rods, ball joints, control arms, misc bushings...ect


I have a FSM on its way, I just need a shopping list

any advice would be much appreciated.
