I have a 2008 Pontiac G6 with 130,000miles that I bought new. It is my economy get around car. So far all I have put into it are front brake pads at 60,000miles and tires. The front end is getting some rattles but so far no handling problems. I was thinking of doing a complete front end rebuild once the weather gets warmer. Tie rod ends, hubs/bearings, struts, control arms, ball joints, brake rotors and pads. I priced out the parts and it looks like around $1,000 in parts plus an alignment. Would be a nice weekend project. I know that it won't be long before most of these parts need to be replaced so why not just do it all at once? I figure the car is about half life so if I do it the front end should be good until about 250,000miles and the car is pretty much shot. Is this overkill? How long to suspension parts last in front wheel drive cars?
