    109 k too actually, and +1 on starter and alternator. Battery last year only because it sat during my deployment.

    Nothing wrong with that!

    knocks on every piece of wood in arm's length.

    Second owner - 09 model - 118K on the clock, about 119. DD'd since owned - daily work commute is 14 miles round trip with 9 stop lights/signs

    as best as I can tell - OE LCA's,Alternator, water pump, fuel injectors, fuel pump,

    recently replaced - at 117 was the struts - they had gone well before that though. and battery - I thought it lived a good life.

    other oddity - OE brake rotors front and rear - fronts were turned once, yes really.

    105k. Only things replaced are wiper blades, front rotors and pads, battery, front control arms (once....so far), and the damn radiator when the neck blew off!

    shake could be your rotors - with all that wear on em.

    how the hell are your brake pads OE - all highway miles?

    I did swap the rotors for some slotted ones. The originals did start to shake when braking. Current shake is intermittent and quite random.

    Yes, commute is 86 miles/day unless I go out to lunch or run any errands. Almost all freeway, though not always fast unfortunately.

    Dang, Travis, you must have some seriously low miles for all that originality!
