In addition to all the responses below, make sure all the suspension components/bushings are tight (thrust arms, idler arm, control arms), and the driveline and guibo (rubber donut) are in good shape. The differential mount and attachment point to the body needs to be intact, too, as this is a weak spot.

To do all this the car has to be up on a rack.
