Default Another preventative maitnence question

For anyone that doesn' already know lol im transfering colleges soon and will be far away from the garage, so im trying to do as much preventative maitnence as i can. My car is a 95 Gt with 90,000miles. So far i have done a coolant flush, replaced all hoses thermo cap coolant etc. Just did the trans fluid with great results, the rear oil was done at 68,000 when the 373s went in. Im waiting for the car to cool down now, before i do the pcv filter, valve, and gommet. If anyone else has any ideas as what to do let me know. I would like to flush out the power steering fluid because its really dark if anyone has a good way of doing this please post it, as well as any other things i can do! thanks again guys, Jay.

Check the brakes, ball joints, tie rods, regrease wheel bearing, check u joints, rotate tires, air filter, belt....that is all i can think of right now.

Hey thanks for the reply, i probablly should have though of all this before hand, but i just recharged the K&N filter and the belt along with the igition tune up. I cant rotate my tires because of the 17x8 up front and 17x9 in theback. I can but it would look pretty dumb. Other then that i will check all the tierods and joints out tomorrow i know they are factory sealed so i cant grease them (tried that too when i did the ignition tune up). i didnt think of repacking the wheel bearings but im gonna get it done. Is there any kind of specific grease to use, i know in school when we learned to repack we used a green colored grease which i know i dont have at home.

if you haven't done a fuel system clean, I'd do that, we use the bg 2 part system, 44k in the tank and induction clean sprayed through the intake.
