Tighten the track bar bracket to frame bolts before doing anything else. They will appear tight but probably aren't.
I will try to get them tighter, but they weren't budging when I tried before.

You should test the ball joints first, before changing them. So you are not just throwing parts at the problem.
Sorry, my post was badly worded. I meant that the ball joints will be the first thing I investigate.

Check your engine mounts, transmission mount too. Also the exhaust system to make sure nothing is loose, dangling.
Good idea, I will make sure to look at those as well.

Just a thought, could the P.O. installed a lunch box locker in the front?
