New front control arms and new sway bar bushings and links
493k miles
This wasn’t exactly a planned maintenance procedure—nor will you see it on any maintenance schedule. But closing in on 500k miles things do start to wear and though the German iron of these show no defects or stress/fatigue, the OE rubber bushings on either end were showing some age, though remarkably they’ve aged very well. Still, this wasn’t really on my short term maintenance radar…. until I saw new TRW ones loaded with new bushings pop up on RockAuto close out for the ridiculous price of $39/ea:
