Now that they are starring/past the 20year mark, I thought I start a thread on what other members noticed that should be replaced due to age. Pictures are a thousand words include them if you have them.
Here I go, engine mounts off a 95 with 270k.

Holy cow! Mine is an1993 with 271k. I'm all over new motor mount now. Thanks for the heads up.
Did you guys notice any difference after installing ?
Well I have no clue. I went from a blown head gasket to a heavily modified, balanced, semi-blueprinted, SC'd 80. I'll never know
Better fuel economy.
hahahahahahahaahaha
EFI relays and fuses. I suggest you replace them and have a spare set in your glovebox. They go without warning and will leave you stranded. My relay still looked brand new when I pulled it and replaced it. I would suggest if you don't have a set just contact @beno and order a few.
Easily neglected and forgotten about during 20 years....body bushings (some of which you have to buy after market now)
Control Arm Bushings and Exhaust Hangers definitely.
Exhaust bushings would have been replaced like half a dozen times by the 20 year time
Way too noisy and annoying without them.
didn't take a pic but just replaced all 4 shocks. They were totally blown and done. Rode like a stagecoach, now it rides like a land cruiser with too stiff of suspension. Bought the beefier shocks for when it's all loaded down with bumpers and what not.
Must the engine be removed to replace the motor mounts?
did the fuseable links, they were all corroded internally and causing an intermitant no or hard start.
LSPV failed due to internal corrosion @ 185k

IF wheeled hard and often, the same thing applies to the radius, control, and panhard bushings.
I'd agree this is 100% ignored
I can tell already that this thread is going to cost me money...
No but it must be raised slightly. This can be done with a traditional hoist or by sticking a 4x4 under the harmonic balancer and jacking it up a couple inches. I plan to do the latter.
