with the age of the car you should bit the bullet and do all of them -
control arm, subframe, and sway bar bits.  If you need to break up the
$$ a bit, do the front and rear separately.  If your ball joints, tie
rods, and strut bearings are good this should clear up most if not all
unintended movement and clunking.
