I’ve found that the majority of my rubber stuff was borderline needing replaced. Bushings for suspension components were mostly worn out. Suspension had seen much better days. Lots of nose dive under heavy braking.

Speaking of brakes, check for seized calipers, which is very common and will wreck your MPG. My only symptoms where wobbly steering wheel when braking and bad MPG.

I just replaced u-joints in mine at 179k. Got rid of clunks and thuds when switching from reverse to drive that was like “skipping a beat” and a similar experience when going from coasting to throttle input.

Power steering fluid is good to check. Mine looked full, but it was a stained reservoir that only LOOKED full.

Wouldn’t be bad to do the sea foam trifecta just before doing spark plugs if that gets on your list.
