Repairs needed

What repairs (not mods) have you recently made and what repairs do you still need to do? Let's compare notes!

I need the following:

• Rotors on rear

• Ball Joints (all four)

• torsion bar kit

These are the repairs I've done in the last year:

• Front rotors

• EGR valve

• U-joints and cv's on both drive shafts

• brakes

Re: Repairs needed

Left front cat converter is going, needs replacement.
All else seems fine, time for an oil change and possibly front shocks.

RE: Repairs needed

Past 12 months: Battery replaced (original); HB replaced; Ebox fan replaced; ME Control Unit replaced - resolved hesitation on acceleration issue; Transmission, torque, and differential fluids/filter changed; Aux fan wiring harness and 40 amp fuse installed per TSB; R & R the steering rack and repl the line seals at steering gear; Replaced window switch.

I just replaced the rear brake pads as a DIY.

Shocks - Front and Rear.  I already purchased SACHS with springs for the rear and Bilstein for the front.  Looking for a good installer at a reasonable price.

Torsion bar making noise, may need the torsion bar kit.

Dealer is offering "Complimentary Spring Service Clinic", taking mine in for free visual examination.  May uncover more repair work, which in my case is good since I have a few more months of Starmark left.

RE: Repairs needed

What I’ve done this year: 

New tie-rod ends, shocks, new rotors and pads, brake fluid change, and an oil change.  EDIT: Oh yeah, and new plugs, too!

What I need to do: 

Adjust the rear passenger side window – it’s a bit slow raising and lowering.  I adjusted it once, but it’s still binding a bit.  I need to do something about the noise in the dash where the glue under the padding is loose.  It’s also time to break out the touch-up paint.  Otherwise, all is well.

RE: Repairs needed

In the last 12 months repairs needed: NONE

2 quarts oil added, new wipers


In the last 2 1/2 years:
New pads and rotors all around
1 passenger doorlock
normal maintenance per manual(radiator fluid, brake fluid, spark plugs, oil),
1 rodent chewed through my engine bay wiring so I had to replace wiring harness in engine bay

I think that about covers it.
