I am about to replace my shocks, springs, and sway bars and would appreciate some advice about other steering linkage parts to replace on the front end for a complete refresh. Control alarms? Inner and outer tie rod's? Anyone have any other input or tricks?
Thanks in advance.

At the age of 35 any or all of it could need replacing, but not necessarily, you just have to check. Control arms, tierod ends, idler arm and center link are things to check. I think I've done more center links than everything else combined, but you never know. Check the ball joints with a big channellocks, the other parts are easier to check and wear is more obvious.

Ditto what Mike wrote. Check the rubber bits which are probably dry, hard, and shrunken or worn, and bearings i.e. control arm ends. I'm quite satisfied with the Turner urethane end links I installed and one of my control arm bearings was beyond crusty.

Ditto.
All of the wear items if you are up to it. Plus the tops of the struts with the bearing in them.
I'd also replace the power steering hoses.
And, if you feel adventurous pull the power steering gearbox and replace the input and output shaft seals. Clean the entire subframe thoroughly, no wire brush, you don't want to scratch the paint.

Check all the fuel hoses too. Injector seals...most overlooked items.
