in order:

Sway bar mounts. Sway bar link to spring link.

Shock mounts, upper first, then lower (look for frayed rubber).

Torque link from wheel carrier to inner part of subframe (inner end).

Thrust link (diagonal for and aft from bottom of wheel carrier to front of subframe), usually front bushing.

spring link.

signs of trouble are shreds of rubber around the bushing.

Bad links will cause torque steer (car steers one way on acceleration, the other way coasting) and thumps under acceleration changes. Bad swaybar bushings or links will cause thumps going over bumps with one wheel.
