The items which should be attended to first (in my mind) would be the serpentine belt (have the harmonic balancer and idler pulley assembly checked while you're at it), the high-speed cooling fan, the brakes and the motor mounts. After that, the ball joint and control arm.
Should the belt/harmonic balancer/idler pulley flake on you, you're looking at some big bills. Better to do a little preventive work now than have the car fail catastrophically at some point in the future. Same with the high speed cooling fan. I've had problems there with my '92 9000T, and when that fan doesn't operate, my car runs perilously hot.
Good luck.
