Hadn't thought about wheel bearings. I'll check them out.

Are ball joints something that can reliably checked for play on our cars or are they just usually just replaced based on mileage/abuse levels?

I have a lifetime alignment already! Plan on using that a lot 😁
One thing that can be a good sign of failing bushings on the front is if you have inside and outside edge wear on the tires. When mine were getting really bad, I would be killing the inner and outer tread on any tire I had because of the dynamic toe change the bushings were causing. That wear characteristic has been very minimal since I changed the one set of bushings out.
