100K refresh
So my little project car is at about 113K. Mostly rides right, but I suspect it could be better. I also have a slight bit of steering wheel shake, but know that is not wheels or tires. More likely toe rods, control arms worn or similar. So, in short, I'm looking at what all I should refresh or improve. I'm looking to have everything feel nice and tight. Maybe have the car feel a little more nimble if possible. Likely going introduce coilovers as I'd like to be slightly lower but want factory or better ride. So, without throwing thousands at the suspension, what are the primary recommended items to address?

I remember I talked with a friend while back and he mentioned that the biggest difference in higher mile cars is when shocks are replaced, which you seem to have covered, other then that go shake the heck out of individual parts and see if any bearings or bushings are gone or close to going, rest is probably upgrades

So far aside from the front struts and rear shocks, the only thing I had to replace were the inner and outer tie rod ends.. 130k on the clock now.

The dreaded steering wheel shake. I lean towards the tires being flat spotted but it gets a tad worse while on the brakes. Looking for new rotors, lighter ones, to see if that helps. Pain in the butt.

my car has the steering wheel shake, but it is only on certain road surfaces, such as grooved concrete. on a smooth road, there is no shake. car currently has 92k with the original suspension except for Hotchkiss 1" springs. Tires are less than a year old & wheels are strait. I am wondering if my front struts have taken a dump. Ideas?
