Well,aside from the stupid tires,it's doing great!,the items you listed never gave me any trouble,I tell you,tires get the shit banged out of them,the tech @fierstone says it's amazing how much adjustments go into tires,my ''Toe In'' was off = additional $70.00,uuuooyyy!.thanks for asking.I beat you. This year I've dumped $250 in tires, $300 for other parts and a water pump, I forgot how much the alternator cost, and then $2000 or so on recent parts including a used transmission.
How is your Ion? I want one ever so badly, since I adore firefly green!
