Recommended to Fix...

[jullissia]

So I have a 2002 Toyota Camry with 211,000 miles on it.

It has been recommended that I:

• Replace the Frontward Wishbone: Stated that it would take out the others.
• Replace oil pane gasket.
• Replace the SERPENTINE BELT.

Are all of these repairs necessary and are they common issues with a car with my mileage and age?

Which one would you do first?

[anotherYOTA]

Yes all these do eventually wear out in time. I'd said you should start with serpentine belt, if that snaps you would lose power. alternator and power steering will strand you. Replace it. The wishbones have bushings that wear out too. Fic that second, your handling will improve. Is the oil dripping alot? Either way these are normal issues with your mileage. Seems like your car has been good to you, time to invest in it.

4 cyl don't last that long without a costly head job, so I assume he has a V6

Not really.....I have seen MANY 4 cylinders from that body come in with high miles and have needed nothing but regular maintenance. Don't be so quick to assume!
