Aside from what you know needs to be done on your car, I'd say change the brake fluid, clear the drain holes, and check tire pressure.

Yahhh...brake bleed and flush....also added wheel bearing repack & adjust...clear drain holes, why not. Thanks!

Danny, I've read that thread 4 times and it just ain't sinking into my head. I know you know how to do it, but I don't! However, I am hooking up with a bunch hardcore MB nuts and I'm hoping they do!

Hey, NASCAR has some "famous" driver telling everyone to check their tire pressure, so DO IT!
