Re: you do travel quite a bit...

Yep, mostly work. There were 2 trips to MT in there somewhere. Redding, CA in 2 weeks (but that's for flyfishing!), and a bunch of day trips between now and then (Salem tomorrow).

This is interesting data. I also replaced two CV boots in last 3 weeks (65k)... no springs yet.

Both front CV and airsprings at 35k, RF again at 62k, LF questionable currently:(

Another question...do the front airsprings go most often?

Both outer CV boots and air springs

were replaced on my AR at around 60-70K. Seems to be a weak spot on most cars. It looks like the replacement parts are less prone to failure.
