Default Which bushings to replace?

I'm trying to freshen the car up, since it has about 90,000 hard miles on it and everything squeaks and rattles and feels loose now. What are the bushings that lie in the front suspension that typically need replacing, that could cause a "loose" feel in the car, etc?

Thanks!

I have 150k on mine and the only ones I have replaced were the steering rack bushings. it made a difference in the steering plus got rid of some very annoying sounds. Search under the modular section, good how-to info there

worn out bushings in the rack, control arms, and worn ball joints and tie rod ends can all contribute to that "loose" feeling
