On the front tire check if you have a lot of slop when moving back and forth.
The inner tie rod ends go bad more frequently than the outer ones. If you change them get a couple full quart bottles of oil. Put them in front of the two tires and use a tape measure to check the distance between the two front tires the oil botttles are so you are at the same height. Change one at a time and set before doing the other side. Then get a wheel alignment. When changing the tie rods some parts stores loan tools. Make sure you use a crescent wrench to hold the shaft in the rack and pinion as you can tear out seals.
Change the thermostat and use a new gasket. Some of the tubes which bolt to the engine have an o-ring to seal them. Most parts stores and hardwares sell them.
I would test the oil pressure with a test gage you may have a plugged strainer for the oil pump.
