Couple of notes/problems that i've been noticing:

"Squeaking" noise from front right wheel area
Interesting "musky / mildewish" smell from the interior cabin
Car somewhat leans to the right (alignment i'm sure)

I'm sure I should probably replace the in-cabin microfilter, oil, and some other obvious things. Would you recommend new tires? (still have stock ones on)

Thanks for the help everyone

 

Well, read the manual and see what it suggets.

If your tire need replacing, replace them seems like a no brainer.

Oil should be changed every 3-5k...so I hope you've done that.

 

For the smell wash or change the in cabin filter that may help.

 

first thorough tuneup? If your tires have enough tread on them keep em but an upgrade will be beneficial. I'm cheap so make your own decision. Squeeking reall loud or low. Bearings for loud brakes for low from experience. Theres so much to do too not enough time to list

 

Sounds like too many front right tire burnouts.
BURN your crapotenzas before they cause you to knockonwood get in a accident or worse. Get yourself some Falken Ziex 235/45/17s (little wider and lower and speedo reads 61.8 instead of 60mph) or if you have $$ Michelin Pilot Sport A/S.

 

tighten up the nut behind the wheel....

just kidding, if u really want to go crazy, get some speed bleeders and change the brake fluid, thats not in the owners manual but would be good to do.

 

the squeaking could possibly be your serpentine belt...mine needs replacing after 68000 miles...does the sound disappear after about 5 min. of driving?

 

I'm really **** about maintenance so I'd probably change the cabin filter, transmission fluid (complete flush torque converter included) and filter, PCV valve, Air Filter, Possibly Coolant, Power Steering Fluid. I might leave the Coolant and Power Steering until 50K miles. Oh and alignment and tire rotation......man theirs a bunch of stuff to maintain on a car.

 

cabin filter/tranny filer and oil/serp. belt.

 

thanks guys I appreciate the input. I also need to do something about my moonroof -- the da*n drape it offtrack and it's stripping the side of the drape roofing...sheesh.
