Just get the alignment checked at the least, it probably needs re-aligning.

Auto or manual? For a manual, the transmission fluid doesn't have to be changed often, 30k is what the manual says I think... but you can probably get by with much longer, the fluid isn't under any pressure or anything. Same for the rear, 30k miles says the manual but you can get by with longer. Don't forget a friction modifier when you put the new lube in!

Get it an alignment man. Don't wanna have to buy new tires due to weird tread wear. As for fluids I'd say around 30-40k. I just changed mine, 2nd owner. I didn't know if it had been changed. When I got it had 31,000 in 2003, so I just changed it just incase! It now has 43,000
