100k maintenance?
I've messed with my suspension and steering a lot so it's all either new or going to be new; however, I have hardly touched my engine or the rest of the drivetrain other than air and oil filters, the PCV valve and engine oil changes every 3k. The car was taken off daily driver duty in June after 2 years and 20k trouble free miles. However, it's about 4.5k from rolling its first 100k. I figure on doing plugs and wires, and maybe dropping the tranny pan and changing fluid and filter.
Anything else you guys recommend replacing, refurbishing or changing at this milestone? Thanks!

Re: 100k maintenance?
check your front and back sway bar bushing. Check tierod ends and ball joints. Check or change tranny fluid. How's belts and hoses?
