300m: What suspension items need replacing at 100k miles?

Apr 08, 2011 0 Replies

My '00 300m has just about ticked over 100k miles (160k km) and I'm going to want to replace something that is causing a clunking sound that seems to be coming from the back wheel area.



I've already replaced the front sway-bar bushings (twice) and link arms (once) and that's about the only suspension work the car has seen so far.



What are the typical rear-end suspension parts that commonly replaced at



10 years / 100k miles?

Also - how often should the wheel bearings get greased or repacked? Haven't touched mine.



PS: Still running on the factory battery. Almost 11.5 years old now. It's been a brutally long and cold winter, but it does spend the nights in a garage (with a small heater going). Other than putting the battery on a charger overnight about once a week for the past 2 months, it still turns the engine over just fine.
