I have 185,000 miles on my car. I was wondering what parts of steering and suspension need replacement or maintenance at this point. thanks.

Outer tie-rods turn to dookie. Mine actually broke while driving.

and ouch...

might also want to check out the tie rod boots and tc rod bushings (most likely blown as well)

thanks. this guy replaced entire tension control rod. not sure if it is better to just replace bushing

Oh yeah, definitely easier.

Highly recommended. Just make sure you choose a reputable brand.

I would replace everything if I were you. I have a 93' with 174,000 and I dont think it has a good suspension part left on it. I love how it klunks real loud when I hit the brakes(worn strut tops). Im doing a sr swap now and I plan on replacing everything on the suspension. I'm also going to change the steering rack b/c mine is starting to leak

I have a 93 and I've been checking. The only thing actually shot on mine is the struts, I was surprised at this, but I'm still looking at upgrading. Look into it some times it's not all that more expensive to upgrade instead of just replace.
