    Question Just turned over 83k

    I figure with the car rounding the corner to 9 years old and turning over 83k recently, I'd start looking into upkeep on things that may be needing it right about now or soon. What kinds of things would you be looking at doing to the car at 80k?

    Thanks!

    On older cars, I tend to worry about bushings and hoses. They are hidden for the most part and often rot from the inside out, making problem identification difficult. Bushings can affect ride quality, vibration, steering wandering, etc. Not sure that the Marauder is quite old enough to start suffering these issues, but worth keeping an eye on.

    After a few more years, you can start worrying about door/window seals, etc. Rubber tends to dry rot with age, lose its resilincy and stop sealing as well as it used to.

    As always, keep an eye on ball joints, bearings, tie rods.
