100k Miles

rssazn · 01-27-2022, 10:53 AM

Finally hit it after 9 years.

I'm replacing the followings:
Thrust Strut
Engine Mount
Rear subframe bushings

Any other things I should go ahead and work on while its up on the lift?

TIA!

Service the transmission, both diffs and transfer case, unless already done!

Water pump and 'stat are coming due. Depends on how much you like to gamble. Either way, coolant flush would be good. Brake fluid if you haven't done recently. Basically all the fluids.

Always worth checking the rear diff bushings as they love to Crack. I think everything else was mentioned already.
