bring it out to a suspension shop for a check up with all the joints and axles, imo.
alignment? more greases?
I know mine needed the alignment and joints inspection for any leaks.
good luck

check to make sure all suspension bolts are at torque specs (ie. strut bolts, etc), regrease the sways (not crucial i don't think, but it cuts down on creaking), inspect bushings if you can (control arms), check shocks for leakage and clean suspension
not sure what else to add.
btw do you still have the veilside on? ever get a ticket for that thing? i got one and now i'm super scared to put it back on.

lol funny u ask i did actually. at lax i was picking up my friend from the airport. and the airport pd pulled me over a lil bit outside the airport. took em an hour to give me a ticket and 10 patrol cars show up to hang out and kinda harass me. askin me stupid questions like "u have anything illegal under the hood"? wth..seriously took an hour. neways cost me more headache than actual money i think i paid like 5bux or something for the processing fee. after i went to a ref and put the stock exh back on. put the veilside back on after about a week. lol

that sucks, especially since you were just there to help a friend. when i got rolled, he caught me for illegal intake, loud exhaust, and no proof of insurance. ticket in the mail came out to $1500, after i showed proof and put stock stuff back in i just paid the $10. way too much of a headache.
how many miles do you have on your JIC's? how do you like em so far?

^to solve the exh issue just take it to a muffler shop and have it db'd and printed out, then when they pull you over for the exh ask them for a db reader and to show you its to loud. they cant pull you over and say its to loud without proof of it being above 95 db's lol.
As far as other things to look for check your cv boots for cracks, your motor mounts there prolly cracking in the front and shot in the rear
