If I had $1000 to spend on suspension/handling upgrades, what should I do first

Failure?
I'd bet it is a matter of transmitting too much  vibration and weird harmonics to the driver. At least poly bushings had some give to them. Solid aluminum ??

Poly is pretty hard too.  It's much closer to being a solid than it is to being rubber.

already have bilstein shocks up front and Edelbrock IAS (I think in back) Front end is rebuilt 8 years ago to stock specs.

What would be the next things I could do without breaking the bank too much?

Thanks!

I did torque boxes and subframe connectors, biggest single improvement.  After that I'd suggest trying one size bigger on the front swaybar and adding a sway bar to the rear, that's assuming the suspension is still in good shape

The threads fail.

I think he's talking about the strut rod issues

Yes, i had clicked quote and it showed. But apparently not now.

The joint at the front swivels and pivots with up and down motion if positioned correctly. I could see threads on aluminum being over torqued or stripped out from getting loose.
