Suspension parts that should typically be replaced in pairs include control arms, struts, shocks, and sway bar links. Replacing these components in pairs helps maintain balanced handling and performance across the vehicle, preventing uneven wear and improving stability. Additionally, doing so can enhance safety and ride quality, as worn parts may lead to compromised handling dynamics. Always consult your vehicle’s service manual for specific recommendations.
The rattle could be caused by loose bolts or worn suspension parts. The rear suspension should be checked to insure that no parts are close to breaking.
The consumable parts of the front suspension are the struts, CV shafts, tie rods (and ends) wheel bearings, and ball joints. Any of the parts can be replaced individually and typically wear out at different rates.
The timing belt, water pump, spark plugs, plug wires, should have been replaced at 105,000 miles. The automatic transmission fluid should also have been replaced at around 100,000 miles. At 150,000 miles you should replace the brake fluid. Also inspect the brakes, brake lines, exhaust system, and all suspension parts.
Unless steering or suspension parts have been replaced - most likely a sealed (no grease fittings) system
no, bad alignments come from potholes or front suspension parts needing replaced like your tie rod ends or idler arm.
Unless steering or suspension parts have been replaced - they are usually sealed at factory (no lubrication fittings)

Suspension squeaking in a Cavalier can be from suspension parts rubbing together. Check to insure that all of the bushings in the suspension are intact.
Did you have the front tires balanced and did you get the front end aligned??
Depends entirely on what's broken, there are many parts in the suspension.
You may have worn suspension parts or just in need of lubrication.
Sure, you just have to know how it was lowered, and then reverse the changes that were made. Whatever parts were modified or added just need to be replaced with factory suspension components.
