common wear at high mileage

[Teus]

Vehicle inspection reported that some minor things are to be replaced, all of them being rather cheap:
- brake flex hoses
- steering joints
- suspension joints
- sway bar rubber mounts

With a friend we'll have a look at it and replace them ourselves.
While we are at it, are there any other parts (like rubbers) we can replace?

front lower control arm bushings are an extremely common failure due to a design flaw. I hear replacing them with the bushings for a w203 will fix the issue. check the drive shaft flex discs rubber parts for cracks or threads showing. check the rubber boots on all 4 transaxles. check the rubber bushings in the shifter linkage. good time to check all the rubber vacuum lines under the hood. they're at the front of the engine and (when looking at the engine with the hood/bonnet open) on the left side. they are red and black rubber and due to the extreme heat on those they can dry over time, or even become thin and weak overtime and collapse under vacuum

you should check your shock absorbers. mine were done. also, one of my springs was broken. engine mounts were also leaking oil.
