Front end replacement

So after 160k miles and the guy before me who didn't do much of any maintenance I've got a creak/moan in my front right end. Doing a little research it seems likely that I need to replace the ball joints.

But I figure, since I'm under there anyways I might as well do more. Any good advice on general front end teplacable. ? What sounds or seems like a good candidate for replacement?
