Springs: From what I understand, springs sag but the rate doesn't
change. The sagging is still bad however.
Shocks: One bad shock can be easy to miss. Pay attention and
you'll notice it however.
Bushings: General sloppiness, probably the easiest to notice.
You've got a ways to go before you have any of those problems.
