If it's never been done, here's what I would do...

All 4 ball-joints, both tie-rod ends, outer sway bar bushings, new CV boots. These are regularly replaced maintenance items and 100k is about the limit before they really wear out.
I would not change a-arm bushings unless they are squeeking or are visibly damaged.
I would not replace the top shock bushings, as most shocks do not unbolt easily. If the bushings need to be replaced, then most likely the shock needs to be replaced too.
Inner tie-rods are replaced when the rack starts to leak and needs to be replaced! This is usually around 100K!
Other than that I would take a change to really look things over and see what is looking old. (Brakes, bushings, cv boots, inner cv joints, exhaust, heat shield, rust areas, etc...)
