suspension mileage questions
Just curious, saw the post with all the high mile engines. How are the suspension components holding up with the 100k to 200k+ from what it sounds like in the posts I dont see much suspension repair listed either.My car has 130K

At 16 years, which I think is more determinative than the 75K miles on my 86 930, I observed two Bilsteins leaking so I changed them all... the ride was noticable firmer.

Oil will break down the rubber bushings in a car rather quickly. At about 140k the bushings in my SC were shot, even without the oil contamination. With that said, I didnt really notice how bad they were until the new ones were installed.

My Koni's were replaced back in "89" and it looks like the P.O. did the sway bar bushings. I'm running @ 173,500 and ready to lower it 1" and do the bump steer and alignment before I lose her for a month to the paint shop. Rick
