suspension at 100K

Hi all,
My 01 9-5 aero clicked 100K this summer. I've had it since about 40K and 2004. In that time I've not had to do anything besides general service (60K, 90K, LOF). That said, it is time to give the suspension some much needed love. The car is in great shape, but Vermont roads are tough on it, even in the summer. The car has never seen a winter, so everything should come apart easily. I plan on spending some time this winter tearing the suspension apart and replacing shocks, bushings, etc.
My question is, what typically wears / fails by 100K? The car is a 2001 Aero. Shocks are a given. What else?
Front:
Struts
Swaybar links?
Front control arm bushings (Front and/or rear)
Swaybar bushings?
Rear:
Shocks
Cross Stay Bushings?
Trailing Arm Bushings?
Swaybar links?
Rear shock bushing (does this come with a new shock?)
Anything else?
I have access to a press at work, so new bushings should be no big deal provided I can get the entire part off the car. I just wonder what is usually worn out at this point and what likely isn't at 100k.
Thanks in advance,
Liam
