Check ball joints and wheel bearings first.
Try to stay out of grooves in the street. Brake on the flat areas,not on angled surfaces.
Do everything at once so you don't need to do multiple wheel alignments

Recent alignment helped maybe 20%. Tires in the last part of their lives is probably about a third of the issue now. Those are coming soon.

Hadn't thought about wheel bearings. I'll check them out.

Are ball joints something that can reliably checked for play on our cars or are they just usually just replaced based on mileage/abuse levels?

I have a lifetime alignment already! Plan on using that a lot 😁
