40K miles tune-up

My sister's '05 SXT ATX is close to 40,000 miles mark, winter is coming and weather in Seattle will be rainy for the next 5-6 months.

So far I've replaced:

-spark plugs+wires
-new ceramic front brake pads
-brake fluid flush
-coolant flush
-tomorrow getting a set of 4 new tires and an alignment.

anything else I should be looking at or replacing? thanks guys/girls!

I'd say no.... I bought my car with almost 40k on it and nothing started acting up until later and it was all regular maintenance items

- cam position sensor (twice)
- lower control arm bushings (maybe check those)
- radiator (I crushed it) but keep an eye on the hoses and such. The ATX tranny cooler will most likely fail at some point, probably not soon though.
- multi function switch (fog lights would go on and off intermittently)
