This site has helped a lot with maintenance/repairs on my 89 245.

At this point, I have 233,000 miles on the car which we bought new in December of 1988. The rear main seal leaks a bit, about a quart between changes. The rear bushing in the transmission and the cooler lines have been replaced. The crank sensor has been replaced. The pan gasket has been replaced. Tie rod ends and lower ball joints have been done. Regular replacement of brakes, timing belt, etc have been done.

I hope to drive this car for 3 more years to about 300K miles. What should I be looking at replacing to avoid it leaving me somewhere? It seems to run and shift fine, the engine and trans receive regular maintenance.

All suggestions are welcome. The more I learn, the more I want to know.

Thanks

Zimm
