- I would replace all the rubber vacuum connectors, T's and four way connectors under the hood. It's a good bet that some of them are shot, and tracking down problems one at a time is time consuming and frustrating.

- blow out the sunroof vents and the cowl area vents

- check the perforated drain plugs in the trunk. There are three...one on each quarter panel, and one under the spare. You'll have to remove the plastic trunk lining to see them.

- Check to see if there's at least a quarter inch of space between the swaybar and the oil pan. When the motor mounts soften, a 2.5 engine will settle onto the swaybar.

- Check the boots on the tie rod ends. If they're torn the likely reason is interference with the wheel weights. Replace the ends and use stick-on weights inside the rims.

- Change the brake fluid.

- Inspect rear axle boots, replace as needed.

- Remove battery, flush battery tray with lots of water (make sure you have the radio code if applicable)

- Power steering filter.
