as for noisy front suspension, inspecting the bushings is fairly easy. If original bushings they could be dry rotted, if replacements, it might just be hard inserts.
besides breaking the rear end lose during hard throttle, I still remember the "first" time I had the rear end pass me due to lifting throttle in a hard curve.
