At this age, bad idler bushings are likely - use the test Arthur Dalton indicated. Symptoms are similar to this part aging, except the noise. Noise more likely from ball joint or strut problem. Check looseness here with front jacked up til wheels clear, though may be hard to replicate sound without loading. Finally, have a pro drive with and listen for sound for confirmation.
