stuff breaks

Recommended Posts

Aside from regular maintenance items, (filters, plugs, tires, brakes etc.)

 

What's gone on everyone's car?

 

In the two years I've owned it I've replaced:

alternator, ball joints, shocks, heater line, throttle body coolant line, water pump, coolant sensor and fitting, front seal on my power steering pump.

 

Basically, what should I look out for next?

Coolant snesors, Spring plate, A/C, Brakes, Tie rod end, CV joints/boots thats all the stuff thats gone in my car in the three years I've owned it. Not too bad considering its 16 years old, and most of it was caused by the salty winters.
