I'm planning what to replace on a TR3A I recently acquired.  The
odometer indicates its got 80,000 miles on it.  What in the front
suspension is likely to need replacing?  From all appearances the car has
not had any work done in this area but seems to have been well maintained.
Are the following good for another 20,000 miles: ball joints, inner tie
rod ends, outer tie rod ends, wheel bearings?  There's a little slop in
the idler arm that needs attention, but otherwise the steering seems
tight.
