I thought it would interesting to see what items we have replaced on our STs and what mileage they needed to be replaced at. Not talking about general fluid flushing and changing.



My ST currently has just less than 92,000 miles. I take good care of my ST but I still feel I've been pretty lucky.



1) Replaced front pads at approx. 20,000 miles (one caliper was sticking and caused premature wear on one side), 53,000 miles and 85,000 miles.

2) Replaced rear pads at approx. 45,000 miles

3) Replaced front rotors at 20,000 miles due to sticking caliper causing galling of rotor.

4) Replaced rear rotors at approx. 60,000 miles.

5) Repaced stock shocks at 50,000. Still had life but I wanted stiffer shocks. I installed KYB MonoMax shocks.

6) Replaced stock tires at 60,000 miles.

7) Replaced battery at 90,000 miles.

8) Replaced Fuel Filter at 70,000 miles.

9) Replaced PVC Valve and elbow at 80,000 miles.

10) Replaced Serpentine Belt at 91,500 miles...actually still looked really good...probably still has about 30,000-40,000 miles left in it.



I bought a Serpentine Belt Tensioner but the stock one was still in great shape. It had no play and made no noise so I left it in. Looks like it has another 50,000 miles in it.



I also bought new OEM Spark Plugs. I will be installing them in a few weeks with new wires.



Are others getting similar numbers?

They were worn out from the factory. changed mine at 1500...:bwahaha:





Replaced Fuel Filter at 70,000 miles



For fuel pump life and other possibles, 30k to 40k

Not really. serpentine belts are subjective to the heat and the life of the inner cords. 50k max.



Replaced stock tires at 60,000 miles.



Most of us would be suprised to keep those junk tires that long. scraped mine at 12k.



You will most likely see a mpg and performance change with the plugs and wires.

Many of us change them at 60k to 70k. Though the factory says 100k. They tend to seize in the alluminum heads at the higher mileage. Plus though they may still be firing at 70k they have lost most of their life. Carefull installing new plugs. Theyare so hard to get to. Many members have cracked the porcelin, installing the new ones. Then had the pain of all over again.



Not getting down on you. Dont take it that way, please. This is just FYI's..

Other than the unexpected brake issue. You have done very well.

Have a good one.
