Oh well, I want it to last me 5 more years, and in the last 19 the only things I've done with the suspension is new shocks about 10 years ago. No more clunking when I hit a pothole!

I'm kinda doing the same thing with my son's 05 LL Bean Forester. I just put all new brakes and a new Walker Cat on it. The cheap Ebay cat kept throwing P0420. One of those sensor extensions didn't help. A few months ago, new front axles and then figured out that the creaking sound was a universal joint on the rear driveshaft. 2 years ago, we pulled the engine for head gaskets to fix oil and coolant leaks. Put in a timing belt kit and new spark plugs while the engine was out. Last week, The tensioner on the AC broke when I was fixing the squeaky belt. Fortunately I had one under the work bench that had just been sittin there for about 5 years.
Stiil much cheaper than car payments. |
