Wheel Bearings: lift it off the ground and Push/Pull Top and Bottom (12 & 6 o-clock). Do it with gusto! There should be very little to no play. Less than 1/64 inch at the rim I would think is fine.

Control arms: Have someone else Push/Pull 3 & 9 o-clock. Watch the control arms. If you see the ends shift in their seats, replace them.

Shocks maybe?
How do your shocks feel? Does the car settle immediately after a large bump or does it take a 2 or 3 cycles to settle.

Also, I would expect a little instability over cobblestone type roads since we have fairly stiff suspensions. If you want better stability over that kind of surface go with the dual rate springs like swift.
It's the rear shocks... I'll have to confirm but going over speed bump yesterday I went a little fast intentionally and the rear kept bouncing for a couple seconds
