I have a 2008 Vibe with 132,000 miles on it. I am planning to inspect the front end and replace anything that looks worn out. I plan to look at ball joints, tie rods and sway bars. Do these things generally need to be replaced at 130,000 miles? I am also wondering if/when water pumps tend to go out? I know some cars recommend replacing it at 100,000 miles.
I plan to drive this car to 200,000 miles or more and mind putting some money into it.
