Front suspension 'weak spots' on a 2004 9-5?

Hello:
2004 9-5 Arc with 70K miles, 85% local commutes, 15% highway trips.
At the moment, everything seems fine with the front end. Just curious as to what items tend to wear and should be replaced on the 2004 Arc. I am not looking for work, just want to try and do the work proactively, on my schedule, not when it fails. One think I'd like to shore up a bit is the front end dip on turning, but don't want the teeth rattling stiffness of my 9000CS.
Am thinking struts would be the main item. If so, suggestions for *slightly* stiffer replacements are welcome.
TYVM
