"Loose" front end

"Loose" front end
I have about 92k miles on my 09 SH-AWD and I'm starting to get that "loose" front end feeling that many cars get as they get more miles on them. You know...that feeling where the car just doesn't feel solid over bumps, etc. anymore.
Other than a rough spot on the road here and there, I have not hit anything to cause it to feel this way, so I'm thinking it is simply wear and tear.
I don't know much about suspensions, so don't beat me up here. How do I tighten front end up to original or better?

Could you describe the loose feeling a bit more?
Perhaps:
Disconnection/looseness between steering feel
"Floaty" front end
Exaggerated bouncing over bumps
Good chance its a combination of wear on the struts/springs and various bushings - I would wager replacing shock/springs would make a large difference.

HAHAAAA I love your signature. That guy is a joke. Anyway back to the OP...seriously change all of the above and the car will be a beauty once again. I would say Energy Suspension but who knows if they make stuff for our cars yet. Moog which is part of Energy Suspension makes tie rods and ball joints better than any car manufacturer and they have the best customer service. Goodluck and let us know how it goes. We will all be looking back at this thread a couple of years from now

^ Moog makes sway bar end links too.

Would love to get a parts list for the struts, shocks (or coils), "all the bushings", tie rod ends, ball joints, etc.
Any help would be appreciated.
