suspension maintenance

mpj76 · 09-29-2003, 10:39 AM

My car has 165K on it. What suspension components should I change from a maintenance standpoint. I'm not trying to upgrade anything, I just want to replace whatever, if anything, can break and cause an accident. So far I've done the rear shocks. I really don't know too much about suspension as you can tell. The whole front end feels kind of sloppy because the rack & pinion is on its way out. I guess what I'm looking for is a "While you have the rack out, might as well replace......" kind of answer. Thanks.

bushings are a definite, check your springs, struts, ball joints, etc.
