I just changed plugs and wires and I am pretty sure the t-belt was done at 68k... What's next?

If you're approaching 100k on the timing belt I would factor that in for the near future, then check water pump, power steering. Couple more things to check
- Upper/lower ball joints
- Control arm bushings
- Tie Rods
- MAF Sensor
- Throttle Body
- Valve covers
- Fuel filter
- Transmission fluid
- Gear oil

Bushings, joints, and tie rods are probably the highest on the list...
I know I'm having some squeaking issues out of the steering rack bushings... What all does changing them entail?

Forgot steering rack bushings. Its easy, I haven't taken it off in a couple years but I think its just 3 bolts and it comes off, 3 bushings I believe, ones pretty tricky but should be able to be done within 30 minutes

Actually it's 4 bolts (U-bracket has 2 on it) and it's the center rack bolt that's the hardest to get off due to limited access. A pair of channel lock adjustable pliers will help you get the old bushings out before reassembly begins. Steering rack bushing replacement is not a very hard job overall (changing steering racks is a totally different story though).Originally Posted by MillerPKA

With all the steering talk, maybe a power steering fluid flush ( ATF ONLY). I need to do that on mine, just dont have the time or money
