Daily driving pick up trucks. Hopefully that makes things more specific and not vague.That's way too vague a question. Some parts wear out faster on some cars, and there are tons of different suspension designs.
And if you count steering parts as suspension parts, the ones that get loose need replacement.
Back in the day when parts had grease fittings, they would need to be relubed.Are there specific suspension parts that needs to be replaced as general routine maint?
I would assume shocks/struts is one. So what others do you all think?
Nissan Titan 2008 4x2 daily in town driving. No off road or towing. It has 146.7K miles. I drive normal some what close to grandpa style. Yes I some what anal and strive for perfection. I hope that helps ya'llWhat truck, what mileage is it at, off road, rural truck in a pot hole infested road life, smooth rich new suburb area most of it's life, all highway life, drive like Grandpa or Billy Bob playing off road truck king? Are you anal and want perfection, a like new outcome like me, or a little wear as long it is safe is more your style? Vagness is not your friend on this post. We need a good long paragraph or two of info to help you out right.
How about the Tire rods and the stabilizer bar links?Only replace as necessary. I would say though that on something like a ball joint where they are all factory with a bunch of miles, maybe consider doing both sides.
It depends on the conditions the vehicle operates in. When you have roads that could pass for WW2 tank traps with salt and sand thrown in for good measure stuff is going to wear out a lot quicker than on smooth good roads in a mild climate.Are there specific suspension parts that needs to be replaced as general routine maint?

No, I replaced the battery twice (but before they failed). Wife complained about the HVAC blower making noise so I replaced that at 220k; at the same time we had a rattle that I traced to the swaybar bushings in the rear. One set of pads and rotors, and plenty of tires. The rest is original.Only replace parts that are worn out. Some parts last what seems like forever.
I think @supton has over 230k miles on his Camry and the entire car is all original except for the brakes.
