atleast wheel bearings are easy to change. You just buy the whole hub and swap it in and out. I replaced all 4 of my wheel bearings at 65-70K

I know
PITA - i just put in a pair rear strut assy
I guess with almost 200k I should be quiet
Stuck a bunch of money in this car this year, struts, hood, recon wheels, tires, brake calipers, rotors, inner and outer tie rod ends and - I need to do the water pump - its leaking - so I just bought 300.00+ worth of T-belt & water pump parts

you should be set untill the head gasket needs to be replaced. tho you might want todo that when you do the T-belt. You are pretty much half way there when you do the timing belt
