Suspension Steering:

Wear in ball joints, tie rod ends, and bushings can lead to knocking noises and imprecise steering. Power steering pumps can sometimes leak.

Electrical:

Corrosion on electrical connectors, especially in humid or salty environments, can cause intermittent issues with lights or sensors. Alternator and starter motor lifespan are typical wear items.

Rust Corrosion:

Body panels and undercarriage can be susceptible to rust, particularly in regions with harsh winters or coastal exposure. Regular inspection and preventative treatment are advised.
