Sloppy feeling in Suspension

I have an 01 coupe with 82k miles bone stock. It seems like the older the car gets the more noises come from the suspension. I know it's about time for an upgrade and have plans for eibach springs and Tokico blues combo. Nothing special but just daily driving.

Back to the problem: What else could need adjusted or tightened or replaced to get the sloppy feeling out of the steering wheel and all the clunk'n noises coming from the suspension. The CV's look in good shape and no leaks from the shocks just feels sloppy and loud.

Please advise and thanks in advance

BTW: money is factor. Just looking for daily driving stuff not a race set up

well you're not stating specifically where the sounds are coming from. Can you give a little more description. If anything, it could just be a blown shock. Check all the shocks for any oil from the shocks.
And the steering, if nothings broken or bent, probably just shocks again. But at 82k, shouldn't be a problem unless you went over severe potholes.

Almost sounds like a cv going bad. I know the sound from an old accord I use to have, but the cv looks great. I keep a really clean car and the shocks look fine with no leaks. Also sounds like a rattle from the boot around the strut.....if that makes any sinse.
